Can anyone tell me how to install DSL 2.0
(available on a CD-ROM from LinISO.de)?

Starting the machine with the
boofloppy.img does not help,

Knoppix does not seem to like
SCSI machines that are unable
to boote from a CD Drive ;-)).

Thanks in advance

Is the hard disk scsi as well? If not, you can take the disk out, put it into another pc (disconnect all other hard disks), install DSl and finally put the disk back.

Yes, all drives are SCSI.

The hint on DSL WIKI ("Poorman´s Install")
does not help, too.
I cannot find any "boot.img".

The C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX file
cannot be found by the DSL boot floppy.

Any other solutions?

If all drives are SCSI then try DSL-1.5 which contain some old scsi drivers.
WIth 2.0+ download the additional_modules.tar.gz and place the scsi modules on a floppy. Use expert mode to load additional modules from floppy. This would be a nice project for someone to make a scsi boot floppy for the 2.x series. Sorry, I have no such old all scsi hardware.
