Good afternoon! Below is a link from the DSL web site for installing on low-rent machines (note not just networking but also using floppies...may have some ideas for further reading. Check it out! http://damnsmalllinux.org/network-install.html Rob As a P.S. I seem to recall that DSL 0.8.0 had a boot floppy file on its CD...An indirect approach might be to install 0.8.0 and then attempt to upgrade? Rob
