Unless you have a fairly new computer (less than 3 years old), I would give the syslinux version a try.

Well...my screen goes blank after some initialization steps. I think it's just before going to graphical mode.

Maybe its because I have a DVI lcd monitor?

Help please!

p.s.: using syslinux version

I have one of those, it's a Dell Ultrasharp. I have to use "vga=normal" to get it to boot, I believe.
Forgive me if I get the various LiveCD's mixed up. That might be just for Knoppix, but may work on DSL, worth a try, anyway.
(I'm testing the AmaroK LiveCD tonight, based on PCLinuxOS)
So many distro's, so little time.
I do appreciate the syslinux versions of DSL, they boot on my older PC's.
