[NTLUG:Discuss] Installation questions from rank beginner:

[Dan Lobb]

Hello:

I would like to install Linux to one of my computers.  I have a 486 machine 
which has no operating system on it at all, and I have a Pentium which has 
an early version of win95 on it. I do not wish to make it a dual boot system.

So, I would like to know how to install to either a operating less system 
or how to remove the other system once I have installed Linux.

Additionally, my copies of Linux are on cds, and I believe that neither of 
these computers has bootable cd drives. What is needed to allow me to 
create a bootable floppy to run the installation from the cd?

If you have a recommendation or can direct me to an article on the web that 
will answer these questions, I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Dan
