i have dsl 1.4 and it works.  still can't get on the net because of windows garbage modem.  

i downloaded dsl 1.5 twice and burned the iso cd a couple dozen times, but still it doesn't boot.

i get a dos style curser, then it boots into windows.


i use cd burner xp pro, which worked fine for dsl 1.4 and 0.5.

need input
:angry:

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

thanks SaidinUnleashed.  found it, did it, failure.

i have begun to hate microsoft.  i'm not a programer, hacker, any of the glamorous stuff.   just looking for something better.  

The truth is out there.
