HiGang, I've been trying for the last two days to play with DSL, and find that alot can be done. The laptop I use for my every day work is a IBM Thinkpad R52 with 1.5GB in RAM. But I will like to use DSL in my old Extensa 570CD that has the CD broken but a working 3COM network PCMCIA card. My Thinkpad doen't have a diskette drive. But I have an external USB HD case for 2.5 hdd's. I have booted my Thinkpad with the DSL CD and used the 3com in orther to have Internet acces, (that is how i'm wrtting this post) and have installed the extensa's hdd in the external case. The 1.4GB hdd has been partitioned in a 200MB swap and 1.2GB linux file systems. I activated the swap partition, Then proceeded to do a "install to hard drive" from the desktop to the dsa2 partition, it successfully installed in the hdd. Then put it back in the old Extensa but did not booted. I also tried installing it by using the :"install to usb pen drive" and used the "for usb hdd", it didnt worked. Can anyone pleas help me. Thanks in advance
