[Trinux-talk] A LINUX NOVICE

[ukrit c. <uk...@ho...>]

Dear Sir,
   My name is Ukrit.  I am 27 years old engineer in Bangkok, Thailand.  Now, 
I work at a wood factory and going to create an web base application for the 
factory.  I am interested in PHP, MySQL, and LINUX.
   I found your web page in www.linux.org.  I like the minimalist concept 
because it lets computer have only necessary stuff.  I have the problem 
about starting the system.  Would you mind suggest me the following?
   How can I boot the system?  In WINDOWS system, I use
1. fdisk (making partition)
2. format c: /s (formatting hard disk and making it bootable)
3. copy cdrom.sys (CDROM driver) and mscdex.exe (CDROM program) to hard disk
4. edit config.sys (device=cdrom.sys) and autoexec.bat (mscdex.exe /option)
5. Reboot.
   Now, the computer is bootable with CDROM drive, so I can use WINDOWS CD 
to install the operating system. Would you mind suggest me how I can do the 
same in LINUX?
Regard.
