Creating a bootable disk for Corel LINUX
Some editions of Corel LINUX include the Corel LINUX Installation (bootable) floppy disk. If you require this floppy disk, you can create it using a 3.5" high-density floppy disk. This bootable disk can be created using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or a Linux operating system.
In Windows NT, you may be able to reconfigure your computer to make your CD-ROM bootable.
