Hey, I am trying to revive an old laptop as well as moving myself away from the windows monopoly but i am having trouble. I downloaded DSL, and burned it to a cd (the right way) and it worked fine on my p4 2.8 ghz wit 512 mb ram. I then tried it on my old Toshiba Protoge 3440 CT (p3 (dont know processor speed) with 64 mb ram. It looks like its booting up to the cd, but then it says
"Cant find KNOPPIX file system, Sorry [I like the manners of computers these days] Dropping you to a (very limited) shell. Press reset button to quit"

What is my polite computer trying to get at? I have Windows 98 installed on the machine, but that shouldnt matter because i am booting from the CD.

Any ideas?

It sounds to me like your CDROM, while bootable is not assigned a standard device name in Linux.

See this thread for a solution:

You don't need to clear the hd.

You just need 50MB of free space on your existing hd partition.
