Read the "Getting Started" document

Getting Started->Other Documentation->On CD Documentation->dsl->install_from_floppy

If you have access to any computer that can boot from the cd, then you cannot miss it. It is the opening document. It is on the cd. /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html or /usr/share/doc/dsl/install_from_floppy.html or just click on the Dillo icon. It is a long document and is on the forum as well. Probably need to search from the begining.
