Once you have made your installation CDs you are ready to install the server software.
Power up the PC that you will be using for your server.
Once the PC has booted open the CD drive door and place the 1st installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and close the door.
Then reboot the PC.
At this point we are hoping that...
1. Your Server PC's BIOS is properly configured to allow the PC to automatically boot from the CD-ROM drive
2. That your CD-ROM drive can read the first installation disc.(Some older CD-ROM drives cannot read recordable CDs.)
3. That the 1st Linux installation disc has been created properly.
If your Server PC isn't so old that it cannot automatically boot from the CD-ROM and if the CD-ROM drive can read your recorded CD and if the 1st installation CD was created properly you will soon see a screen that asks you if you wish to install the Mandrake Linux software. So follow the instructions and press the "ENTER" key and get started.
