+!! beta version !!
+
+Mandrake Alpha short Howto-Install :
+
+* to install from the cdrom:
+
+- either boot on the cdrom:
+ - in SRM, find the device name corresponding to the cdrom (`show device' can help)
+ - enter `boot dqa0 -fl 0' (replacing dqa0 by the cdrom device)
+
+- or you can boot on a floppy:
+ - first create a boot floppy from images/cdrom.img
+ - in SRM, find the device name corresponding to the floppy (`show device' can help)
+ - enter `boot dva0 -fl 0' (replacing dva0 by the floppy device)
+ - fulfill the install.
+
+* on reboot:
+
+- either enter `boot XXXX -fl 0' where XXXX is the device where you installed
+the system
+
+- if the device is not available via SRM, use the
+cdrom: `boot -file boot/v.gz -root /dev/sda1' (replace sda1 by the
+root you installed on)
+
+
+* to install from the network:
+
+Same as for the cdrom install, except give `boot dqa0 -fl 1' or boot on
+images/network.img floppy (with `boot dva0 -fl 0')
