hi everyone.

I'm new to DSL and seeing your skill in makes me ask this.
I have a Compaq Armada 1700 PII 233 Mhz / 96 Mo / 3 Go HD / 8139 RTL eth1 / 8180L RTL eth0
I don't know what DSL version dl for, and what install choose ?
In the future I would like to have permanent install of softs I add. How is it possible ?

Sorry if my questions are badly formed, I'm frenchy (newbie) too.  :)

download the current ISO, burn a CD and boot from the CD, right click on the desktop to get the menu.  Click on the Tools and in the submenu there will be install options.  If you want to try it first use the liveCD or do a frugal install.  For your system, which is similar to mine, I recomend an HD install because you will want that ram free when you start doing things.  Make sure to create a swap partition (can use a swap file if you install as frugal).

I am using the 3.0RC2 iso at this time and it works good on my system so the current 3.0.1 should be fine on yours.  I have also used other versions with pretty good luck.
