Are you using the syslinux edition of the cd?
Typically older computers can boot from this edition.

If it's anything like my Dell latitudes, the problem is the crap cdrom device.  I've got four of them that I have to interchange, hoping to find one that works, and that usually takes several attempts.  If it boots from the USB and have a better CD rom, that would be the answer (my Dells do not, so that's not an option).

Robert, the cdrtools build system makes some files owned by user bin. I forgot to change that in the tarball, so could you change all those into root?

quite strange... i'm testing 4.2.2 with vmware player and the complete mydsl-system doesn't work. the needed lua-scripts seem to be empty files.... :rock:

and: rename icons for appropriate icons in the jwm's window titles - eg: firefox.xpm -> mozilla.xpm, one folder icon to "dfm.xpm" for all the dfm windows and so on.

to get the needed WM_NAME just use "xprop" in a terminal and click the window to identify.
