You will have to make your installation floppy for the installation. This means making a disk from an image file. After that you have to follow the prompts given to you.

The best procedure is the one written in the manual, also Linux needs a non dos partition on the computer main boot drive..

Also check and see if Linux will run on a Cyrix chip..

It does it all for you nearly. It's easy to install off the disk. Linux will setup it's own multi boot manager for you. It needs 2 partitions. One is a swap partition, minimum 200Mb. The other is effectively your Linux main data partition. Make thisas large as you think you will be filling it up with apps and stuff.
