Okay. I'm now ready for the installation (I think...)

I'll need help getting the bootloader up and running

Just type yes when it asks if you want to run mkliloboot in the install sequence and you are done

Ah, my mistake. I thought you ran from the live cd as root.

Last time I tried to install dsl, it gave me weirdness.... When I tried to boot, I got a command prompt that didn't want to help me. This scared me badly.

This is written from the laptop using Win 98. I am happy to report that this laptop run MSN and Firefox on Win 98 without a flaw. I expect DSL to run aMSN and Firefox even better :D

*Glorious*
