If you can boot DSL from the CD (I'm not sure from reading your post) you can then install to your harddrive from that live cd system. There is more info about harddrive installs in the DSL wiki:
http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Installing_DSL

Please read there, and if you have any *specific* questions feel free to come back here to post.
Note the "frugal" section there. It is a harddrive install that runs very much like a liveCD, and is used by a large number of people.
