As with Knoppix, DSL can be download from a CD. DSL barely takes up any space. The way you use DSL is by hitting the F2 key to select device to start running DSL.
1. When computer starts loading up hit F2 to start loading the boot options menu
2. Once loaded to the boot options menu which will be in a light grey, cyan and blue colour menus, use the arrow keys to selcet the boot options. Select the boot devices priority to select devices.
3. Press enter to select boot device priority and select devices.
4. Depeneding on the system your using there will be sevral devices listed, select your disk drive, I had 3 devices on my PC I used.
5. Once selected, use the arrow keys to select exit to begin the DSL boot up process.
6. The DSL will load up it's DSL icon and start booting up, DSL will then prompt you to run DSL, select yes.
7. After a few seconds DSL will prompt you again select yes to continue the boot up.
8. A large list will appear, this will be loading and checking all the important hardware and software. This is important to not click or touch the keyboard at this point as the computer will automaticly checking system compatablity, this will likely interupt the boot up process
9. Once the process is completed the GUI (graphical user interface) will load up and all the normal windows and icons for DSL will have loaded up. You can know use DSL on any system you want.
DSL is not as hard to run on PC than Knoppix, it takes longer for Knoppix to install as Knoppix is alot larger than DSL. There are more steps to use Knoppix than DSL. To see installation of Knoppix please see blog Fallout: L85 mod in progress (2nd Post)
