Hi all...I'm new here and new to DSL... (i have used mandrake in the past for several months).

I have a older laptop that I would like to get DSL working on...it runs in failsafe but the normal install it won't proceed past the Processor.. Test.

Its reports back. Processor 0 is AMD k6 -400mhz 64kb cache... Then NOTHING.

What is it trying to do at this point?

Also, with the

DSL NO Options... (is the correct command line?)

DSL no {USB}
or is it
DSL NO USB
or is it
DSL nousb

I tried a few and its seems to also check for USB.... Although I don't thinks its failing on USB checking...

Thanks,

BRIAN Z

try "dsl failsafe" first, and see if it boots with that, then start with the no options.

noscsi and noacpi are the most commonly needed.
