SuSE 5.2 comes with a boot disk or at least the boxed version I bought
had a boot disk included with it. I have a similarly configured 486DX33
machine with that propritary SoundBlaster IDE CDROM drive but I haven't
tried to install SuSE on it yet.  Linux supports that CDROM drive as I
do have Slackware 3.3 installed on that system currently.
