hi, i'm a newb to linux, and also a noob to making boot CDs. i have NO idea where to start, how to do it, anything, all i know is that i need the DSL .iso file, thats it...

if somebody could give me insturctions on the easiest/safest method to boot this off of a CD i would be VERY appreciative.

i'm using winXP if that matters.

Best is to get "Nero" (or an other cd-burn-program) and burn the iso to cd. If got it also in XP. If yoy don't have Nero, get a freeware burn-program (such as:

http://www.nonags.com/files....tp

(i've got that one from nonags, a freeware-internetpage one of the best!)

Cheers

i have nero, but when i try to make a boot CD it tells me to insert a floppy before i continue, and it tells me to make a boot disk out of the floppy... i dont know how to do that in XP, because i cant just go to add/remove programs or format like in other windows OS's...

if your nero is installed correct. then double clicking the *.iso will open nero with "burn compilation" just press burn.

or start nero
file-open,
in open dialog select files of type "image files *.nrg,*iso,*.cue)
now find the dsl-0.8.2.iso select it. press open
"burn compilation" opend, press burn.

at least thats how it works for me

i just burn the .iso and thats it?

i can choose "disc image or saved project" do i open that up and selecte the .iso? and when i do that it has an option "Destination Drive:" of either D: (my cd-rw drive) or "image recorder" both have little icons, the D drive one says CD and the image recorder option says image. which do i select?
