LINUX ROOTDISKS
The Linux "rootdisk" contains the actual installation software. You use
a bootdisk to load it into your system and begin the installation. You'll
probably want to use either the color or the umsdos disk to install Linux
depending on whether you'll be installing it in its own partition.
README.TXT Detailed descriptions of the root disk images.
Now, choose one of the boot disk images below. Hitting ENTER will create
a boot disk in drive A:
color.bat This is the disk you'll want to use to install Linux onto its
own partition.
umsdos.bat This is the disk used to install Linux into an existing
MS-DOS partition (for example, into a C:\LINUX directory)
pcmcia.bat This menu based rootdisk is used to install Linux via PCMCIA
devices, such as SCSI and ethernet cards.
rescue.bat This is a disk with an editor (vi), lilo, e2fsck, and other
utilities useful for repairing a misconfigured Linux system. If
you ever get locked out of your system for some reason, you can
use this disk to mount your Linux partitions and fix the
problems.
