lefty crupps
I just got into Linux, like *just* and its not even on my machine yet,
but I have SuSE 8.1 coming.
So then I got this little old laptop, for free, a Compaq LTE Elite
4/75 thing with 500mb harddrive space, and I decide I wanna put linux
on that computer too, mostly for word processing at the coffee shoppe.
i decided on Damn Small since its a minimal version and has a
desktop, which I need to... well, otherwise I'm lost. I downloaded
the *.iso file and made a c.d., for both 0.3.9 and 0.3.10, but their
autorun.bat files are looking for a file named "index.html" on the
disk. Its not there. the file only says:
@echo Load "index.html"
@start "index.html"
@exit
Here's the kicker. My little laptop only has a 3.5" drive, and most
files are bigger than 1.44mb right, but it does have a parallel port;
I have access to a iomega zip drive. and, since I re-formatted the
500mb drive I've only been able to boot with a Win 98/MS-DOS boot
disk. I can't get past that hurdle either.
So I boot with a boot disk, and I got the iomega DOS driver so that I
can (hopefully):
make the image file c.d.,
copy it to a Zip disk,
boot the small computer into DOS,
load the Zip driver into DOS,
copy DSLinux from the Zip onto the hard drive,
and then run it? install it? what next? will this work?
what am I doing!?
I would enjoy a response, if anyone wanna help a brotha out.

About:
Damn Small Linux is a business-card size (50MB) Live CD Linux distribution.
Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use
desktop.
Changes:
A new kernel and modules were added, supporting more hardware. busybox is
used to save space. Space was saved by having dpkg-restore restore not
only package structure, but also related programs. Backup or restore to a
specific device (such as a hard drive) was improved. The PPP dial scripts
were improved, so manual editing is no longer required. The hard drive
install script was improved to pass the fb800x600 screen size. The speed
of installation was also improved. The menu was reorganized for easier
navigation. The /opt/bootlocal.sh was added to allow the user to specify
miscellaneous system startup commands.

New auto mydsl: an auto scan for a directory named mydsl will automatically

About:
Damn Small Linux is a business-card size (50MB) Live CD Linux distribution.
Despite its minuscule size it strives to have a functional and easy to use
desktop.
Changes:
The madwifi-ng modules were updated. BusyBox was updated with support for
files larger than 2GB. A new cron implementation was added, with a new
boot option "cron" and a toggle from the control panel. The "checkfs" boot
option was added. The MyDSL structure was simplified by using the level 1
default auto-scanned /mydsl directory or a user-specified level 1
directory which contains extensions. mkmydsl was added, which is a
simplified custom ISO maker that is even easier than before and supports a
new MyDSL layout and works for both isolinux and syslinux CD versions.
MyDSL was updated to support direct downloading.

Changes:
Changes in this release include mouse configuration persistence via
mouse_config, improved rdesktop with added color depth, ALSA sound
auto-configuration improvements via a conflicting audio module, automated
start of rcfirewall upon boot when rcfirewall.unc is in the mydsl search
path at boot, and auto-start of gtk2 when the gtk2 extension is in the
mydsl search path at boot. Non-boot SCSI modues were removed but can be
autoloaded when scsi.unc is in the mydsl search path. A legacy option was
added to the lowram boot image label. A lowram check was added to
xinitrc, which prevents Dillo and Torsmo from starting.
