I have three partitions.  one is 75MB for the main install, second for the swap of 150MB and the rest for msdsl and extensions.  The harddrive is 4 GB drive.  I followed the instructions on the main  page on how to do this.

Robert
I don't understand.  When I boot with the floppy do I put the boot: install instead of the dsl fromusb vga=788 frugal??

PS I'm having a ball learning linux and how to get around.  Is there some book or online resource that will get me grounded with linux??
I'm a programmer in VB6, RPG & COBOL and have expertise in troubleshooting pc hardware problems.

Thanks for all your help.  DSL rocks!!

Wow, a Role Playing Game programmer, I didn't know you could program in that :D

With those codes you would replace dsl with install:
install fromusb vga=788 frugal

Linux.org's three online courses are very good in getting to know the basics.

Thanks for the tip on the DSL install and the online courses.  I appreciate the help from all and looks like doing some studying on linux.  I'll let you know how that works out.
