I think I tried this already, but will try it again tomorrow when I go
back to work.  I bought this for a friend.  It comes with a wiped HD
except for io.sys, msdos.sys and command.com for Win98.  I'd like very
much to be able to boot up Knoppix or Ubuntu LiveCD on this.  I know
there are ways to install using floppies, but CD-boot is much preferred.
~ I downloaded the "Utilities" disk for DOS from IBM but it says that it
can't run in DOS mode....  Perhaps I have to boot from a DOS diskette
first...

| I'm pretty sure that's F1, not F2.  It should then come up with a
