I can confirm that the floppies *JUST* handle booting, and do not contain the OS. If the system can boot from CD, the CD is bootable. if not, use the floppy to boot to a CD Prompt. If you happen to have VMWare Player, the dsl-3.0.1-vmx.zip file is a premade DSL VM. With it, you can create a bootable USB key (as well as other media, AFAIK) ready to run if your BIOS supports boot-from-USB. I'm pretty impressed with DSL as a "pocket" Linux distro. It also has a "install-to-local-HD" once booted, which is very useful on older systems with small hard-drives. -- -- Kevin Sonney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ICQ: 4855069 -- AIM: ksonney -- CACert Assurer -- GPG : 1024D/320C 0336 3BC4 13EC 4AEC 6AF2 525F CED7 7BB6 12C9 Damn the man. -- Lucas, "Empire Records" -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
