Hi my pc won't support cd boot so can anyone tell me what files i need for a boot disk?

Thanks [sig][/sig]
 
go to a win9x computer,
insert your linux-cd,
go to a dosprompt. go to your cd-drive.
put a formatted floppy in your disk-drive
run this command
x:\where\it\can\be\rawrite x:\dir\to\images\boot.img a:

where x: is the drive of your cd
the other is the searchorder for the program rawrite and where your boot-images are.

voilá, you have yourself a boot-diskette for linux.

O yes. A looser like me really needs support on OS like unix based! I really gotta get my job more focused on the Linux OS sinds when this one gets out of dipers..... I am gonna love this OS.... [sig][/sig]
 
BTW. forgot your internet sharing issue...
In linux all those nifty things are built-in.
read the HOWTO manual for ip-masquerading...
I don´t know of any special program lika a proxy since everyone I know use ip-masquerading.
the howto-manual for ip-chains is also interesting, which used primary for building a firewall. [sig]<p>Nostradamus<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]
