It's easier that way, but a little more confusing, if you're not sure how to burn it right. You'll need the boot image file to burn as well.
The easy way is:
Look in the "dosutils" folder. Double click on the file called "rawritewin.exe"
Browse to the "images" folder. Click the "cdrom.img" file, and then the "write" button. All with a new floppy in the drive of course.
This creates a bootable floppy that will load CD-ROM drivers, and search for the correct files on the CD-ROM. Away you go.
Alternatively, you don't have to install from CD, so you don't even need to burn the disks, just install from the hard drive.
Follow the steps above, but select the "hd.img" file instead.
Boot to the floppy you made, and just specify the hard drive, partition, and folder you have the whole download in. Even in .iso format, it will uncompress and install automatically.
Remember, in Linux, hard drives are numbered different than DOS.
Primary hard drive, partition 1 (your C: drive) is HDA1
Second partition is HDA2, etc.
Your primary slave is HDB.
Secondary master is HDC.
Secondary slave is HDD.
CD-ROMs and RW's are slightly different, and you'll see the appropriate letters on the screen, just above the prompt.
