ke4nt1 & John,
OK, here's a little more precision regarding what's happening with the boot. I'll turn on the machine, and, as the RAM count is developing, I'll place the DSL CD in the tray and push it in. At the conclusion of the BIOS routines, the CD will attempt to boot, I'll hear it's characteristic booting "noise", there will be a repetition of the booting "noise" and then the message "Boot Failed". Ordinarily, there would not be a repetition of this "noise, the initial screen of whatever I might be booting simply would appear. Thinking that the boot image might be faulty, I used rawrite to make a copy of it to a floppy. The floppy with the image alone will boot into initial DSL display so the image would seem to be OK. But the CD with the very same image dies. Odd, isn't it.
