HD Install :: fromHD ??



I got an iso file on, /usr/idk/dsl...iso and one on C:\dsl\dsl...iso
I also got a boot floppy.

Now, how do I install dsl?
I don't got a CD, but shouldn't it be possible to mount with the isos?

I'm a newbie, so give rather easy instructions.

Do I need to create a 55MB partition with the iso?
If so how do I 'burn' the iso to the partition?

I'm pretty sure you'll need to download dsl-embedded to do what you're thinking of.  And then, once you have all that unpackaged, you should be able to boot from the floppy with a "fromhd=/dev/hda1 qemu frugal" cheatcode.

DSL is only 50mb, but with QEMU added, the directory will be almost 100mb.
One thing that I didn't understand was that installing and booting was two different things... Atleast here...

I simply did as the tutorial said: extracted the iso to C:\KNOPPIX\, rebooted, and it worked.
I then installed it with the boot command install, rebooted and here I am.

This is the fastest OS I've seen! My comp is very slow but dsl makes it faster than my fastest, that really lags.

To put things in prespective:
'This' computer with dsl: 64mb ram, Pentium 2
My fast computer with win XP: 512 mb ram, Pentium 4

And dsl is faster!!!
