DSL was not sufficient, but DSL-N seems more adequate with its kernel 2.6, more peripheral recognition (for the WIFI card SMC 'EZ ConnectG' SMC2802W) and less limitation at the browser side ! But I cannot boot from the CD (too old BIOS). [b]Is it possible to find a bootfloppy.img dedicated to this interesting clone of DSL ? [/b] Thanks in advance, Alain Back to top cbagger01 Joined: 21 Apr 2006 Posts: 27 Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 5:21 pm    Post subject: Google for "Smart Boot Manager" and use it to create a floppy disk and see if you can use it to boot up DSL-N.
