Nothing seems to work to get any of the images to load so I can boot\load into a running OS of Damn Small Linux.
Does this OS even work?

Works fine here.

Been busy but I have 2 frugal installs of 4.11 rc2 working fine here.Nothing bad to report.

Another link, Amigo has a bunch of gtk 1.2 apps ..... http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/amigolinux/download/Applications/ .

Also, Minimum Profit – text editor: provides highlighting, opening mutliple documents simultaneously, and much more  http://triptico.com/download/mp-3.3.18b.tar.gz .

Since I'm a Puppy user  I like SeaMonkey. Are you familiar with   http://www.lamarelle.org/mo-zi-lla/mozilla.php  browser builds?

I have tried twice to download and burn to CD the latest release candidate but it will not boot up. Is there something I am doing wrong? I would like to h\ave a Live image on CD to play around with. I do not know much about computers other than turning them on and surfing the net and a few other things. THANK YOU in advance for your time and consideration.

The basics are checking the md5 for the download,,,,,,,  4b61c7892eefc23b71d4931bdcc3f1f1  dsl-4.11.rc2.iso    ,verifying that there was a good burn to the cd and making sure your computer is set to boot from the cd before the hard drive. Need more info though before anyone can offer much specific help.

Downloading. Since it's 2:30 am here, feedback tomorrow.........

Still running the rc on two or three boxes.......... worksing pretty darn well for the intended purposes.

How about in the repository....

Excellent hardware detection as always.

Sneekylinux just put out a DSL video on Youtube too....but for some reason I can't post a link.

Additional testing notes before I forget.....  Successfully used ps/2 mouse and keyboard in test 1 and used USB mouse and keyboard for test 2...... no problems with either box.

Installed Opera to the frugal install on the Athlon XP box..... posting from it now.

Another quick test of 4.11 rc on a bit more appropriate hardware.Old Celeron with 128 Mb of ram.All the basics.... sound,internet and display working ootb.Just boot the cd and it works.

XMMS working fine with streaming radio.

Manual frugal install completed...... no problems.Installed Rox with MyDSL .....no problems there either. (My primary OS is Puppy so I've got to have Rox-Filer....).No real difficulties yet.
