OK, I've tried running the mkmydsl script under Tools, and although it runs and creates an iso file on the HD, during the process of making it I get the error message "Operation failed. Failed to retain ownership of" then the file name. I burned a disk using the iso file, and it seems to contain everything, but it won't boot. The boot line options I want put in automatically are: "dsl toram dsl vga=normal". Part of the problem is that I have (until VERY recently) been away from computers for over ten years, and am totally unfailiar with ISO files, burning CDs, etc., and I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology as well. I don't mind trying things on my own to learn, but it may take someone here taking me by the hand and walking me though this, or drawing me a very detailed picture, or something. Again, any and all help will  be greatly appreciated from an old newbie.  

:p

If you're using a fat partition to do this, your ISO will be broken.  Fat cannot handle linux file permissions/ownership.
You'll need to create your ISO on a linux filesystem, or in /ramdisk if you have enough ram.
