Hmm - I am no expert, but would like the definitive answer to this also!
If it helps you, debian hasa hard disk install, which is outlined here < http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s05.html.en > and on other pages in the same manual, but I dont know for DSL.
If you find how, please post back!

Check the "Wiki" for a Poorman's Install.

I think it is in the booting or boot floppy section.
