livingdaylight,

You need 2 files: dsl-1.5.iso and dsl-1.5.iso.md5.txt

dsl-1.5.iso is the image file 50MB and dsl-1.5.iso.md5.txt is its checksum file. The checksum file will be used for checking in CD burning program.

burn it ... boot it ... play it and have fun

I've burnt it now trying to boot it. I don't know how to get into BIOS on the laptop. It just boots straight into Win'95 i insert cd and it still boot into '95 on reboot.

On the desktop getting inot Bios to set bootload to cd for example is a matter of pressing F2 on my desktop. But the laptop does not give me a chance to get into Bios,

Your continued assistance is much needed and well appreciated,

regards,

Try this way to get to the BIOS:
press the ECS key at the START of the boot process ... press it continually then a F1 message appears ... good luck

thanks for that.

Yes, i could get into Bios (version 6.4) but there is not boot from cd option that i coud find.

I might have to boot up from floppy?

Aside from that i still wonder whether i could successfully run 'X' from this system with only 16MB of Ram.

I spoke to someone who couldn't install even with 32 MB of Ram.

When DSL says that it can run with as little as 16MB of Ram does that include 'X' ? or does that mean DSL is running from command line only?

Thank you for your clarification and help,

regards,
