Other Help Topics :: Help, booting problems

Syslinux was just the ticket, it works fine now.
Now all I have to do is figure out how it all works. Got any lit. suggestions?

syslinux still doesnt work for me, but at least it gets to the boot screen.

after which it gives a an error.

i meant this one:

i'm a linux noobie and wanted to start with a live cd before i went on to a HD install..i've heard a lot of good things about DSL and i've tried to run it a few times. I get to a dos-like screen with a Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 logo above the command line...i presume that this is a dosprompt....what do i do now? i've tried "knoppix toram", "toram", "dsl toram", "boot" but all i get are filename or command not recognised...pls HELP ME!!!!
I want to try this thing out....

You burnt the CD wrong; it is a DR-DOS bootable CD, presumably with DSL as the data content. You need to burn it as a CD image.
