I downloaded the 0.8.0 iso and burned a CD. It booted with no problems. I used cfdisk to create two partitions on the hard drive, a 400 MB, bootable, ext2 Linux type 83 and a 134 MB, Linux Swap type 82. I then rebooted as suggested by cfdisk. Next I used Apps  > Tools > Install to Hard Drive to install DSLinux to the hda1 partition. It took about 6 minutes for the installation program to copy the files to hda1. I answered yes to use mkliloboot to install lilo to the MBR.  

This was a very easy hard drive installation and when I booted, I started Dillo and got an immediate connection to the Internet!

It doesn't get much better!

Thanks, cowboy

That was very similar to my first experience with DSL. The only difference was that I didnt know what root was, and that it was needed for cfdisk. It's very easy to get started with DSL.
