installing- last try before win98



i downloaded the files from the getting started, dos install. i have
install, linux
drv1440.bin, loadlin.exe, root.bin,resc1440.bin and base2_1.tgz.
i run the install bat and get a command to enter kernal name. i tried
linux and nothing
happens. WHAT IS THE KERNEL out of these files? IS LINUX SUPPOSED TO
HAVE
AN EXTENSION?
IF I DO GET AN INSTALLATION TO WORK WILL I SEE A GRAPHICS PAGE OR
JUST
#
#
#
# ?
i want to learn linux, but if it is uninstallable without knowing unix
commands i will
buy windows 98.
i have compacted a second harddrive, and ran fips. i have two
partitions. i have the
files required according to the getting started page in a file on the
dos partition.
WHAT DO I TYPE IN FOR THE KERNAL?
is the base 2-1.tgz a compressed file i have to unzip?
