Sorry I have been away
Can you give us specs of your machine (hardware and everything you have/dont have)...do you not have a CDROM in your machine?
What you are doing on the floppy install is taking the files from the cd and creating a multiple (broken up) image of the files, then with the floppies manually copying them to your harddrive and then uncompressing them, then booting from boot floppy
If you dont have a CDROM or network card, then the only way it to break the cd into small chunks and put on the harddrive
Try using the syslinux version of DSL instead of the new isolinux version...
32Megs should be enuff for your machine to purr on DSL, 16Megs on my old laptop that I installed it on was a bugger..but it ran...
PM if you need any more help ok
