O great DSL gurus out there, please help this unworthy dsl bozo.
I downloaded dsl 0.8.1, burned it onto a cd , placed it in the cdrom drive and .... Yikes! I got a non-emulation booting message. Never had this before with earlier dsl releases including dsl 0.8 . Next, I downloaded 0.8.1.1 and again my laptop's bios screamed out the same message. Then, I took both disks to my desktop and what do you know, both were bootable and working fine. My laptop is Sharp PC-CB1-C9 with 1.0GHz mobile AMD Duron processor and 128MB ram. The desktop is a homebrew pc with Celeron 1.70GHz processor and 256MB ram. Looks as if I need to stick to using dsl 0.8. Suggestions?

I'm thinking the boot floppy might help you. If you don't have a floppy drive on your laptop you could try rebuilding the ISO using the floppy image.
