While many folks do use the "old-school" method of installing and running Linux,
DSL offers other alternatives that will perform better, use less HD space,
allow you to use many of the special features of DSL,
and make your system much more tolerant of errant programs
and errors from experimentation with your new Linux Filesystem.
First, try booting from your LiveCD using the "toram" option.
at the boot prompt, type..
dsl dma toram (press enter)
This will place your entire DSL filesystem into your ramspace.
DSL will be running at the top speed that your computer can perform at.
From here, search the forums for the word ' frugal ' ..
A frugal install mirrors the LiveCD, but eliminates the need
to either boot or run from the CD itself.. Again, it can load 'toram' ,
just like the LiveCD does, for maximum performance.
The biggest benefit, I think, is in the reboot !
No matter how bad you, or an application, hoses your system,
You can "reboot clean" , and get back to where you began,
with all your settings, preferences, and files intact..
This is where I frequently see new Linux users get frustrated
with most all Linux distributions, when an attempt to 'fix'
something becomes an unworkable nightmare.... ,
usually resulting in a fresh re-install, losing all of your
previous settings and preferences..
Frugally installed DSL is like a "fresh custom install"
every time you boot your computer up.
You'll find the staff and userbase here at DSL very helpful,
but do try to browse the docs and forums for answers
to your challenges before you request assistance..
