Hi, I am new to Linux and totally new DSL....

I want to install this on my laptop (Toshiba 230CX, 32MB, 1.4GB), I have no CD player, just a floppy and a Xircom PCMCIA card. Somehow after 2 days I have managed to install a cut down version of Debian..do not ask me how as it was pure guess work....

I want to replace it with DSL as it looks ideal for me. can someone please help me with step by step idiot instructions ?

thanks

Sorry I forgot to add, there was no OS on here before so I am happy to trash what I have just for DSL

Hope this helps and good luck,

It has a better "menu" based formatting screen
