Re: [linrad] my first Linux installation.

["ON7UC , Johan Van Brabandt" <johan.van.brabandt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo Peter

ik ben erin geslaagd linux 9.1 te bemachtigen en ik had de bedoeling dit op
een pc te zetten waarop win95 draait. Ik heb nog een tweede harddisk van 2
gb over dewelke ik zou willen gebruiken voor Linrad. Ik weet echter niet wat
te doen om de drie cds op de harddrive te zetten. Bij windows is het gewoon
install doch bij linux gaat dat niet.
Men spreekt ook van een bootdiskette of zo iets doch daar ken ik ook niets
van. Ik weet niet zoveel af van pc's hi.
Kan jij me enige raadgevingen toesturen
