I was just thinking it would be nice to have a boot option to install dsl to hard disk, without loading the gui or anything.  Maybe even a little menu?

Boot DSL
Install DSL
No, I just left the CD in the drive, stupid computer! boot my other distro"!

When I install to hard drive, I always use:

boot: dsl 2

# dsl-hdinstall

No gui loaded, maximum memory available for loading to hard drive.

I will study the boot commands more carefully  before I run my mouth off again.

Is there an option start your normal boot loader when you've left the cd in the drive?

oops, there i go...

Well while i'm at it,. What is the Enhanced install? It confused me a bit, and I noticed it was using my internet connection when i ran it. It would be nice if there was a little explanation of what enhanced is when you are prompted for Enhanced / Standard : In the installer.
