I'm trying to install Linux on my computer, but I didn't make the installation CD-Roms bootable, so I can't boot directly from them. But there are 2 alternate methods, but both require starting the computer in DOS. Which I can't do, because with Win XP, to start in DOS, you need to create a DOS boot floppy disk, and my computer doesn't have a floppy disk drive. So do any of you know of a way to start Windows XP in DOS without having to create a DOS boot disk? Or a way to create a DOS boot CD-Rom instead? Thanks,
