I've had the same problem. DSL 0.8.0 is not recognized with a CDRom boot-up, but previous versions are. I have an old Hitachi laptop with 1Gb HD and 80 MB Ram. Very difficult to find a distro that is small enough to run efficiently. Morphix lite GUI runs in RAM but slowly .. probably because of all swapping it has to do. On Hard disk install of Morphix lite there is no Xserver that works...but that's another story. DSL 0.8 looked like the answer but I can't get a boot from the CD rom. Is there any work-around that will boot the 0.8 cdrom from a boot floppy?

yes..

grab the boot floppy image here ..

it uses another bootloader, so your chances are excellent that the boot floppy
will get you started, then once you decide that DSL works for you, install to
HD to eliminate the need for the floppy.
