Now I have DSL installed in a USB which is working in my SONY VAIO VGN Laptop, purchased back in the year 2010, with 4Gb RAM
DSL slow to boot, fast after installation.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install syslinux-utils
isohybrid dsl-2024.alpha.iso
After that, I just used the regular DD method outlined here:

In Alpha 2 I'll have a script to do this.
Please let me know if you figure out what the issue is with the T410, I should probably gather a selection of old laptops to test on.
Thanks to you both! So this a.m. I had a bit of time and booted into DSL failsafe, updated apt, loaded elinks, netsurf and Firefox, all worked flawlessly. I must admit this is -not- w. my old Thinkpad t410 but via live usb on my HP EliteBook w. 4 gigs of ram. She FLIES with DSL and in fact I'm writing this now on it via NetSurf. On to persistance on this or another usb stick
