Here is the link to the latest version....enjoy!
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....6.3.iso

Don't forget to check the MD5sum of your download against this file
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....md5.txt

You can find WinMD5 for windows at
http://www.blisstonia.com/shareware/WinMD5/

or simply run "md5sum damnsmall-0.6.3.iso" from most linux command prompts

Thanks! That's what I thought it was, but I was dreading it because of my connection speed. After I download this to I write it to a disc? That'd be great, because then my old PC would have a purpose. I also have an old laptop which probably only has about 50mb of hard drive space, and a floppy disc drive. Is there any way I can get DSL onto it? Without the method of floppy after floppy.

If it's additional software that you are uncertain of, just do a google search with the name, e.g. "firefox + linux" or "synaptic + linux". First however have a look at the Damn Small docs page. Theres a list and brief description of whats included in the distro.

There sure are some fascinating titles out there, ettercap, ogg vorbis, the Gimp, Mutt & ratpoison

Make sure you burn the disc as an iso (one of your burners options) or it won't work.

For the laptop do a forum search for the frugal or poormans install and read the Laptops section of the forum.
These should help:-
