    Hi,

    I have an old Compaq with no CD with Win98 installed . I used laplink and ISO Buster to load all files from an Ubuntu ISO into a folder on a WIN98 PC. I can not find any exe files. How can I start the Ubuntu install from Win98. I can leave Win98 on or remove it--don't care. Can't find any boot diiskette for Ubuntu. Obviously I am not looking in the right place. PLease Help.

    Thanks,
    Rich
