Do this.
Download DSL iso and burn it to CD-r disk.
Create a 128MB linux swap partition or create a DOS swap file.
Do a hard disk install from the menu.
Install Synaptic from the menu and close down Synaptic after install is completed.
Open a root xterminal and type:
sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list
Put a "#" in front of the "stable" line
Remove the "#" in front of the "testing" line.
Save and exit beaver
apt-get update
exit
Then start Synaptic again and use it to install gaim and firefox.
Install the Java extension from the myDSL repository.
Then enable Java for Firefox.
If firefox runs too slowly on your computer, install the opera.tar.gz extension from the myDSL repository and enable Java for Opera.
Customize the opera toolbars to reduce all of the extra clutter on your screen and change the homepage to something less busy like google.com or damnsmalllinux.org
There are more detailed instructions for the installation process in the built-in DSL start page, the DSL documentation site, and finally can also be found by Searching the forums and choose search ALL FORUMS and search FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER. The search tool is weird here. By default, it searches multiple keywords as an "OR" search, so if you want to find a post that contains both "swap" and "partition", you need to enter keywords:
swap AND partition.
Good Luck.
