hi,

i have a old 486 and 340MB of HDD space with a floppy drive. my external cdrom drive requires me to go into DOS and load a batch file. once my drive is ready for use i put in the DSL Floppy disk with the DSL cd it will do nothing. i looked at all of the files on the boot disk and tryed to execute it and DOS will say the file dosent execit. when i put the floppy in when bios boot's it will load the files neede for installation and will get to

Boot:

i press enter and it can not find my cd drive so i need a way to first load the drivers for my cddrive amd then excute the DSL floppy for installating sence my cddrive is now activated. what file on the floppy do i need to excute so i can get to the install screen??
