HD Install :: How do you install and run DSL as a live CD

I have DSL 4.1 but don't understand how I run this as a live CD or install it to my HDD. Get the screen that says "run from CD or flash drive" click Enter, then nothing happens. Thanks.

Can you post a bit more info as to how you are trying to boot. Basically the liveCD boots into the OS as if it's running as an installed OS and the hd install is just that.

Taking the live running version and setting it up to run local of your hard disk.

Back to the q though, what method are you trying to boot from, CD or flash and do you get the large DSL logo with a Pres <enter> to begin or F2 for boot options.
boot:

Now is that what you are getting? If so, (sorry, I have to check) but is your keyboard working (try caps lock to toggle light).

Report back with that basic info to start....

:lr:

Yes, I'm booting it from an ISO CD I burned and I get the big logo with a Pres <enter> to begin or F2 for boot options.
boot:. I'd like to just run it as a live CD first to see how it works. Then install it later. Thanks.

then nothing happens.

Please elaborate on this?

It looks like it's loading then I get a bunch of I/O error messages then nothing. I created an ext3 partition of 10gigs and a swap-file on the HDD. I'm assuming DSL doesn't have a partitioner like Puppy Linux so I have to prepare it before hand. I know there's not a hardware problem because this machine was running XP Pro just fine.
