HD Install :: Can I install from floppys

I want to install DSL on a 486DX w 16Mb ram but the motherboard won't recognize that I have added a 8X cdrom. Can I install from a series of floppys?

Yes, you can.

Search the forum for details.

Keyword: floppies

Also look on the CD starting with 0.7. Getting Started -> Other Documentation -> User Tips

If you create a DSL boot diskette it should be able to recognise the cd-drive (at least it worked for me on a P133 laptop with DSL 0.4.8). I think there is a boot diskette image on the cd and from dos/win you can use rawrite to create it (you can find rawrite.exe here: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub....)

I believe they said that their motherboard wouldn't recognize their CD-ROM drive was there, so how would booting from a floppy help?
