Ah, I have this old laptop that I want to put DSL on. When I boot up the live cd and get to the desktop the screen it really off color and can't see anything. After that I try Knoppix 4.02 live cd and that worked perfect. Some one please me.

Try the procedure detailed in the Wiki (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Vga%3Dxxx) you may be able to find a mode which will give you a decent display.
