In the Remaster howto it mentions booting a dsl image on the hard disk, using a boot floppy.  I dont quite know know about extracting the image from a current iso though. Im sure it cant be too hard. remaster howto

Depends on what your trying to save from the old version.

You could backup your personal settings,  like .dillo, .xmms,
.xtdesktop, /etc/apt/sources.list, etc. Edit your copy of
your filetool.lst on your backup space to include these areas.

Save the backup , Install the new 0.7.1,
then after you boot into your new DSL, restore your backup,
and all your old settings, bookmarks, etc. ..will still be there.

thanks for your input folks but not really the answer's i was looking for, just being lasy i s'pose, but when i,ve tried the remaster it never reboots, was hoping for a straight forward download. that aside i want to congratulate everyone involved in this project only tried linux on the off chance, and now will never go back to *********** there is no need for all that guff
