Well, BlueFlops is a 2 disk distro with a graphical web browser.  It's pretty primitive, but does the work pretty well (it's, personally, my favorite).  Not much else besides the Web Browser though, on anIRC client.

As for installing it from another computer, do a search, there are a few thing that you might need to take care of before doing the install from another computer.

DSL has boot-time hardware autodetection, so it should not be a problem to do this.

However, the bootloader program, LILO, does care about the location of your hard drive.

In other words, if your hdd is usually connected as the Primary  Master drive (IDE drive 0) in computer "A" and you decide to do a DSL hard drive install while the drive is connected to computer "B", then make sure that your drive is also connected up as the Primary Master drive (IDE drive 0).
