I am trying to install DSL on a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook B110, currently running on Windows 98. I am a noob with DSL, but have some experience with Ubuntu. And I am familiar with this < description >

Booting with the boot floppy goed well. But from then I can't get further. The extra CDROM drive I bought second hand doesn't seem to work. Alternatively, I tried to boot from HD by copying the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX directory to C:. But after the boot with the floppy, DSL doesn't find the right files. Any suggestions ?

Did you copy KNOPPIX to the root of your drive? (ie C:\KNOPPIX)

Yes. I put in the root directory and used capitals for directory name and file name

It might be the fat filesystem fooling around; try booting with "dsl knoppix_name=knoppix knoppix_dir=knoppix" with the boot floppy (ie forcing it to look for lower case)
