I have a fairly new Dell Desktop, with P4, 1 GB Ram, and I downloaded the syslinux version of 0.9.2 for use with it.
Previously, I could not get the isolinux version to boot. From the notes:

Robert put together a SysLinux version of 0.9.1. You folks who have older hardware which isn't compatible with IsoLinux can now boot the latest version of DSL from a CD like everyone else.

This is great, as many new computer users are going to get a Dell, and all of those need to be able to run DSL.

I hope this dual-version option is going to be available on new DSL versions, for a while, at least. Very good work, Robert, and all of us thank you.
I still can't get over how neat it is to have Firefox in there!

Glad to hear that it is working for you.
Hopefully with this we can keep and add more DSL users.
I thought is was mainly older hardware that need it.
But apparently some newer Dell's need it too.
Since I don't have any isolinux challenged machines,
I asked user twoflatfish to test for me.
So a thanks to Stan, aka twoflatfish for helping test the syslinux version.

The syslinux version helped me install DSL on an old Packard Bell that I was ready to throw out with my wife's other new year's resolutions....  Thanks from me also.
