Is there any way to create the MyDSL disk without burning 2 cds? It seems like a waste (2 cdr or time blanking a cdrw). Can you launch DSL from the iso on a harddrive and a floppy?

People laugh because I have linux on a cd with me.

I laugh as the pay me for using that disk to recover their precious windows.

Ony if you break out the ISO file into normal files.

I don't think it is possible to use a bootloader that can read directly from an *.iso file.

tecker,

you can first burn the downloaded iso and boot with it

boot: dsl toram

now you can blank the cd (if it`s cdrw) and run in terminal the mkmydsl script
then you burn the new generate .iso

Well, you don´t needs 2 cd if it's CD-RW

You might try an older version, such as 0.6.2 or 0.5.3.1 and see if that boots. (I hope you have broadband).
I found some problems with 0.8.2 not booting on all computers.
