speaking of profiles & reality differing :)

You're off by 6 :)

Either boot from a cd, or if you already have a working dos partition, copy the install files to c:\

The only reason you'd ever need 6 is if you have a machine with no prior OS and no CD.  Though I usually boot off the root disk anyway, wiht just the other files around, but that's because I never bothered to figure out loadlin :)
