1.44 MB LINUX BOOTDISKS

 To install Linux, you'll need a bootdisk and a rootdisk.  The bootdisk 
 has to contain drivers that support your hardware, so you'll have to select
 the most appropriate disk from the list below.  NOTE: it's best to use the
 disk with the least drivers possible to save memory.

README.TXT      This file contains information about the drivers in the
                various bootdisks, and instructions for using a bootdisk to
                start a system that isn't booting properly.

WHICH.ONE       A chart to help you select which bootdisk to use.

   Now, put a formatted floppy disk in your boot drive and select one of the
   images below.  Hitting ENTER will create the boot image in drive A:
