It is covered in detail in the handbook.  Basically, you need to copy
two disk images from the CD to a pair of floppies, using the "rawrite"
DOS program that is also provided on the CD.  Then boot from the first
floppy, which will then ask you to insert the second floppy, and will
then give you the option to install everything else from the CD.
