User Feedback :: Boot CD from ms-dos (like distro's with dosutils)

If from dos, you can access your cdrom, then why not copy over the main DSL files into a small parition on hard drive, then use linld or loadlin to boot.

Well, I could do this, but I want to whipe the partitions and only run dsl!

And when you are done, the 50MB dos install parition could be used for your swap parition. In fact, start by making a 128MB dos install partition. Nothing wasted. I describe this procedure in the Wiki in the net install method.

I tried to boot from hdd instead... totally different error, something with some adress, and a "table" full of numbers :0 !!!

Should have posted your specs in the first post.
A 100Mhz 8MB memory laptop is not enough.
