<title>INSTALLING</title>
<para>Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have
such a machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the &DISTRO;
CD-ROM directly. After booting, the &DISTRO; installation program will
start, and you will be able to install your system from the CD-ROM.</para>
<para arch="x86;x86_64"><!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> --> The
<filename>images/</filename> directory contains the file
<filename>boot.iso</filename>. This file is an ISO image that can be used
to boot the &DISTRO; installation program. It is a handy way to start
network-based installations without having to use multiple diskettes. To
use <filename>boot.iso</filename>, your computer must be able to boot from
its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS settings must be configured to do so. You
must then burn <filename>boot.iso</filename> onto a recordable/rewriteable
CD-ROM.</para>
<para arch="x86;x86_64"><!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> --> Another image
file contained in the <filename>images/</filename> directory is
<filename>diskboot.img</filename>. This file is designed for use with USB
pen drives (or other bootable media with a capacity larger than a diskette
drive). Use the <command>dd</command> command to write the image.</para>

<title>Note</title>
<!-- <remark os="test">(x86;x86_64)</remark> -->
<para>The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on
the ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.</para>
