snv, is your drive internal?  By the way, regarding your guess about Super Multi drives, I don't know of any DVD burner that can't burn and read CDs also.

I tried DSL (dsl-2.1b.iso) on my new external USB DVD rewriter but it froze at the "looking for USB" step, IIRC.  Again, Kubuntu works, so maybe it's just a problem with Knoppix-based distros.

Yes, drive is internal - its a Toshiba laptop.

Drive was just a weak guess, because you mentioned drive.  I have no idea what it is.  Like you, however, I'm always freezing after USB.

I can always try Ubuntu, but had wanted to specifically get DSL running :(

My first try of DSL, it freezes:
1- downloaded current iso (v2, 11-Jan-2006 01:45   50M  )
2- burned it using roxio
3- started toshiba techra 8000, 196 MB ram with that CD inside
4- it did start from CD, showed grey DSL screen, and boot prompt
5- timed out on boot prompt, showed the penguin image, "no warranty" text
6- recognized ram, made ramdisk, and entered init
---
INIT:version 2.78-knoppix booting
Running Linux kernel 2.4.31.
Processor 0 is Pentium II (Deschutes) 299MHz, 512 KB Cache
---
7- cursor stopped blinking
8- froze there, screen still legible,  

  - freezes also if boot command is "dsl lang=no vga=790"
  - freezes also if boot command is "fb1024x768"
  - freezes also if boot command is "failsafe"
  - freezes also if boot command is "dsl lang=no toram vga=normal"

Installation seemed very simple, but failed for me...
