Okay, the computer I'm trying to run the DSL Live CD on is very old. Eight years, actually. System specs: Pentium II <256mb RAM, Voodoo II Graphics Card, 7-gig hard drive. I'm using Windows XP for my OS.
The computer doesn't recognize the disc, no matter what I do. The BIOS is set to look at the CD drive before it checks the hard drive for an operating system, but it doesn't. As a matter of fact, the booting-up process is not affected at all by the presence of the Live CD in the CD drive.
I copied the boot.img off of the Live CD I burned and used Raw Write to create a boot floppy. The computer recognizes that, luckily, so I have it sitting on the first DSL screen, at the boot: prompt.
Is there any way to make it load DSL from the CD, now that I've gotten to the boot: screen?
