HD Install :: install failed from cd

i have had this problem on two 10yearold boxes and the solution was that the cdrom was not read correctly from the cdrom-drive. so a newer cdrom drive or switch of the hdd to a newer box (for installing)could help.
bye,lulu

yes putting the hd in another box would work.  about the cd-drive... the computer has two but only boots from one.  maybe i can try removing the first drive and booting from the second.

anyway, it remains strange that PClinuxOS live cd did boot...  I'm considering installing PClinuxOS to the HD which would take care of installing a bootloader (grub or lilo) and give an OS to work with.  
After that i'll try to edit the bootloader so it boots DSL instead...

we'll see   :p
