No, that's as far as the bootfloppy gets you.

Oh.. well.. I guess I'll redownload and burn the iso to cd and see if that'll work.

But, after looking at this page (ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/) I see a few different iso's I could download.. which should I get?

Just use current - this will be the isolinux version, but it really doesn't matter since you are using a bootfloppy.

But you already did burn a version of the DSL iso to cd...
so it's probably most helpful if you can find out what cdrom drive you have (check BIOS setup if you don't have any tools handy) and how it's connected to your system.

I decided to download the B version mentioned in the FAQ.. but I don't get it. Like.. this is as far as I could get on the old computer, and I'm using a different cdrom drive on the newer one. So.. *sigh*.. I dunno... I'll see if I can find any info on the cdrom drive.
