Other Help Topics :: CD boot problems

Thankyou for your input. My box is not a laptop, it is a SR1211NX Compaq Presario
I have had success running Knoppix on this machine, somehow that gets lost, as, if I understand right dsl,
is a distilation of Knoppix. Knoppix runs on this machine--- I could post this from it if I wanted to.
Sorry-- it gets lost as no-one pays attention to that fact. It works fine.
I surf this forum frequently and have used the search function to maybe no avail. Sufice it to say I am disapointed. I thought there were enthusists here.
Don't take that comment personally, you are here for me. I'll let you know how it goes
I d/l the sylinux iso. Lets see how that goes

Syslinux iso worked. Booted in failsafe, configured my eth0 connection and here I am running dsl and posting with Firefox. I am quite impressed from what little I have looked at.
Oh, I got the idea to try the syslinux iso from the laptop forum while I was surfing back a few pages. Someone had similar issues with a P4 laptop. The 5 or six searches I did never came up with that post. Go figure!!!!
