2)I have a 1gb USB stick that i would like to install DSL on. Wen i tryed this frem inside DSL however it said that it would need to format the USB Stick and Devide it into Partisions dose that mean i wil lose all data that is currently being stored on it? Alos wat is the difference between USB-Zip install and USB-HDD install?
If you partition and format a device, yes you lose all existing data on that device.
Quote (BootUsb @ http://wiki.debian.org/BootUsb)
There are two common BIOS methods for direct USB booting:

   *

     One method is called the "USBHDD" method and it is used to support the booting of standard USB mass storage devices that are configured like a normal PC hard drive.
   *

     The other method is called the "USBZIP" method and it supports booting from a USB storage device that behaves like the original IOMEGA ZIP drive with USB support.

3)I have aol broadband which means that to connect to the internet i need to open the aol Browser which is not included in DSL so how can i access the internet from DSL?
Good luck.  AOL has never been Linux-friendly.
