Hi ! I would installing DSL on an old laptop (an acer 312T) that have a pcmcia not bootable cdrom drive.

I can boot with floppy and the original acer floppy can give me dos with cd-rom support.

So you can use your cd rom drive to tranfer files to that computer?
If so try this http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Loadlin_Install

If your display is not workin with default options.txt change vga=normal to vga=788 works for me.

Or you can use dsl bootdisk, maybe.
