Ok, I did the floppy install again, but this time with 0.6.3. It seems to boot up OK.

BTW: what is the easiest way to make DSL 0.6.3 boot up just off of the HD. Right now, I have copied all of the CD files to the HD, but I am still booting off of the floppy. I would like to make it the only OS on the system, and also maintain all of the settings between sessions.

BTW: the laptop appears to have a Pentium 133 chip in it, and ~16 megs of RAM. I made a swap partition with a size of 128 MB, and (after each program loads for the first time), it runs faster than fast!
