help with slackware boot floppies

[Farhan]

HI all, on my old windows 95 machine, the bios are stupid and won't
boot anything from cd no matter how many times I change the boot
order. I tried debian with the boot floppies no luck, I got halfway and
it wouldn't install so i'm thinking of using slackware. I downloaded
from the slackware ftp sight from the boot disk and root disk dirs
speakup.s and color.gz now i put in the boot disk and first slackware
cd what do I do now? i'm not sure if its speakup_synth=synthname or
ramdisk speakup_synth=synthname and can i boot the boot disk with out
putting in the first slackware cd,. because i just downloaded it from
bitorrent this morning and i'm not going to waste a cd on something
that doesn't work.
