Probably not in a machine old enough to have come with W98
You need a boot floppy, that and the modules floppy images will be on the
Mandrake CD, on a SuSE CD set it is on CD1 in a directory called /boot
For windroids there is rawrite.exe and for the rest of us there is
dd if=/cdrom/boot/boot of=/dev/fd0
Just done that to the remaining NT4 server in the Practice.
