you need to make at least two partitions on the drive. one for boot and one for swap..fdisk /dev/hda..if you are installing to the primary drive.."p" will show you the current partitions.."m" I think lists the options....like "n" "p" "a" "t" swap is 82...so decide the size and create the partitions...you will make one "boot""a" and one swap "t""82"..you will write them "w" and exit.. then make a file system ie: mke2fs /dev/hda1 for the boot ..make swap...mkswap /dev/hda2...turn on the swap file..swapon -a /dev/hda2...run dsl....at the initial dsl screen press f2 also f3 this will list the options..if your machine is to old to run X then choose options with care..if you are running a wizard always read carefully...yes you need a boot loader to boot up the install..grub or lilo..hope this helps
