Hello there. I looked at the embedded version of DSL a few weeks ago and it was first linux experience. I burned a live CD afterwards and I tried to boot from it on my Toshiba laptop, but it stops every time at this message
PCMCIA found starting cardmgr
It simply stops, no error message, nothing at all. Meanwhile I have installed another linux distro and it works ok, but I would like to have the DSL working from a CD or an USB drive. What could be the problem?

If it is an old laptop, did you burn the cd too fast?

Or try booting with "dsl nopcmcia" or "dsl failsafe"?

It is a Toshiba laptop, a pretty good one (the one I burned the CD with). I'll try what you propose. Thanks.

You sure you typed them right? Because if you typed "dsl nopcmcia" it will show "Skipping pcmcia check as requested" instead of pcmcia found..
