My old computer doesn't boot from CD, so I created a Linux boot disk. I put the Linux installation CD in the CD-Rom drive and boot from floppy. However, I don't know what command to type at the prompt to start the installation from the CD, which is loctated in the CD-ROM.

In Windows I would type,
a:\>cd d:
d:\>setup.exe (i.e start 98 install )
d:\>winnt32.exe (start NT/2K install )
so what do I type in Linux?
