At the time of this writing, for i386 DSL you need at least 16 megs of ram to boot. This does not provide X windows functionality, only console (at boot run 'dsl 2' for console only). 24 megs is the recommended MINIMUM for X windows. Of course, the more ram the better, since thats where you're working, in ram. Cam asa se zice la : DSL Documentation Project http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/97 FYI This experiment was conducted with the original DSL kernel, which I believe was based on knoppix 3.2 (DSL versions up to and including version 0.5.3.1) There have been reports that newer versions of DSL do not work with a 486SX CPU because the newer kernel requires a math coproccessor that is built into 486DX, Pentium and newer CPUs. So if you have a 486SX I would try version 0.5.3.1 , or maybe 0.7.3 (2nd generation DSL system) if the current version of DSL will not boot. For newer versions of DSL, you should boot with this command: dsl base noicons and your bootup will require less RAM because the desktop icons and the "Slit" applications in the lower right corner won't be automatically launched. Also, if you are using a customized myDSL CD-R disk, the "base" command will prevent DSL files from being autoloaded and using up your limited RAM. Iar aici specifica foarte bine cum se face: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/60 Your BIOS and U(SB) (Before you begin ) ---Before you begin--- Make sure that CD-ROM (or USB if you are using a USB pendrive) booting is enabled and before the hard disk in the boot order. For USB, you may have options such as "usb-zip", "usb-floppy", and "usb-hdd". Just experiment until you find the one that works for you. You may also need to enable USB keyboard support, for some boards. If your board is not capable of booting from CD-ROM (or USB), you will need to make a Boot floppy! Just head over to one of the mirrors and grab the latest boot-x.x.x.img (or boot-usb-x.x.x.img). It should be in the "current/" directory. In linux, you can create a boot floppy by typing ***Code Sample*** dd if=boot-X.X.X.img of=/dev/fd0 ***End Code Sample*** As far as windows, may I suggest John Newbigin's RawWrite for Windows. It's available at http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm and is a lot easier to use than the original command-line based rawrite2.exe. If you are capable of booting from CD-ROM or USB, ^_^ you're good to go! Just pop in your CD or USB and go! Cu respect , Aygun SUCCES -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
