Solve : installing Suse Linux 10.0?

Answer» HELLO,
I cannont install Linux because, in spite of changing the BIOS to look to the CDROM first, it won't. The computer is 6 years old, a Pentium III 386, 512mg ram, 60g harddrive, partitioned into 2 30g drives, with XP installed on C. I do have a floppy (3 1/2), as well. Any HELP would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
SusanAre you saving the changes made in bios correctly, SOMETIME it's a little convoluted to actually save them.
A bit like 'enter to exit' if you know what I mean.
Read the screen & think like an idiot, I mean that in a nice way & I hope it helps.Yes, I have saved the settings correctly-no offense taken. I actually think it is my bios, my son (a computer graduate in Canada)told me that because the computer won't boot to a cdrom, you can update your bios & sometimes that will help. But it is difficult -wish he could fly here & FIX this for me! Thanks for your input, if you get more ideas, let me know. I am going to call the support number and ask if they can e-mail me the files NEEDED for a floppy boot. Then I can get going with this. I am a total beginner for Linux but not a newbie to computers, I have worked with them for more than 10 years, and know a fair amount....thanks again. Well, an update for all.....after complaining repeatedly to Novell, I finally got some help. They sent me to a site to download a file which I then had to rawwrite to a floppy. Low and behold, it worked, I installed Linux Suse 10.0 and all is working fine. I do feel that I shouldn't have had to go through 10 e-mails to them to get what I should have been given in the first place, when I called them. If anyone wants to know the name of the file, let me know & I can e-mail you.
