is there some way we could install dsl to a cd-rw instead of a hard drive?

is so, would the cd still boot in all computers?

DSL linux is apparently a live cd (I havn't tried it)
so it should work by just burning the iso image to the cdrw and throwing it in the drive.
it'l create a ramfs structure and won't mount any of the hard drives if it behaves like Knoppix, which I'm pretty sure it does judging by the boot up sequence I've seen

DSL is a live CD. Which means: do what Happy said. It works! Search the forums if/when you have any questions.

I think he means like using the R/W function of the CD-RW to actuvely store information on the CD, which I do beleive is impossible.
