livingdaylight,

You need 2 files: dsl-1.5.iso and dsl-1.5.iso.md5.txt

dsl-1.5.iso is the image file 50MB and dsl-1.5.iso.md5.txt is its checksum file. The checksum file will be used for checking in CD burning program.

burn it ... boot it ... play it and have fun :D

I've burnt it now trying to boot it. I don't know how to get into BIOS on the laptop. It just boots straight into Win'95 i insert cd and it still boot into '95 on reboot.

On the desktop getting inot Bios to set bootload to cd for example is a matter of pressing F2 on my desktop. But the laptop does not give me a chance to get into Bios,

Your continued assistance is much needed and well appreciated,

regards,

livingdaylight

Try this way to get to the BIOS:
press the ECS key at the START of the boot process ... press it continually then a F1 message appears ... good luck :D

thanks for that.

Yes, i could get into Bios (version 6.4) but there is not boot from cd option that i coud find.

I might have to boot up from floppy?

Aside from that i still wonder whether i could successfully run 'X' from this system with only 16MB of Ram.

I spoke to someone who couldn't install even with 32 MB of Ram.

When DSL says that it can run with as little as 16MB of Ram does that include 'X' ? or does that mean DSL is running from command line only?

Thank you for your clarification and help,

regards,
