OK. . .OK. . .OK You have all broke me and I will admit my weakness.
I used to be an incredible computer geek with all the tools to do this. But, my greed overcame my common sense and I was seduced into Sales Engineering. It turns out that I was really good at presentations and the money was better in Sales Engineering. So, I took my career in that direction that last few years. And, of course, when a recession hits, the high-paid Sales Engineers are one of the first to go.
The end result is that now my technical skills are a little outdated, as is my technical buddy list--any one of which could have instantly provide me with a Linux boot disk.
With that said and my underbelly showing, will someone please give me an idea of the easiest way to get a Linux boot disk. Unfortunately, I do live in a small town. I doubt if anyone in this town even knows what Linux is, let alone be able to provide me with a boot disk.
The easiest way I can think of is for someone to create an image of a Linux boot disk with a DOS or WINDOWS (98 or lower) disk image program--preferably using a freeware disk image program. Then upload that image to a location which I can d/load it from.
I understand a little hazing is in order, but I hope you will show me some mercy on my poor little soul.
Another thought, does this Forum have a file area? If so, that would be a great place to post such an image file for the future people like me.
Thanks for Everything,
Rich May
