ok...in my effort to get dsl running nicly in a dual boot with dos on a compaq lte 5something, I've tried the nice new nifty frugal grub installler...my problem? I can't install the grub dsl extension...I can't even DOWNLOAD IT (even to hard drive partion) without filling up the ramdisk and requireing a reboot to restore much of the functionality lost when I run out of ramdisk space. I only have 32 megs of ram in this old pos laptop. Is there some secret to this I'm missing or will I just have to pack it in on this whole idea?

Hawkwing, hang in there. The next release will offer this feature without needing to use all your ramspace.
