I just downloaded the dsl-1.4.iso and burned it to a cd. When I try to boot from it, I get as far as:

Scanning for USB devices... Done.
Accessing DSL image at /dev/scd0...

and it freezes there, with my keyboard's caps and scroll lock lights blinking.
I've tried on three separate computers and burned the cd twice, and every time I get the same result. What's going on?

It sounds like the iso wasn't downloaded all the way.  Try checking it against the MD5 or just redownloading it.

Good Luck

Yes,

Search google for the MD5SUM program for DOS or WINDOWS and download it.

Then use the *.md5 file and the md5sum program to verify that your *.iso file was downloaded correctly.

Once you know that you have a good file, burn the iso to a CD-R disk at lowest possible speed.

I downloaded it again, and it works, on my laptop anyway. On my desktop, after it finishes loading everything in the prompt, I get a blank screen instead of the GUI coming up.
