HD Install :: How to install DSL to HD if BIOS can't bootable CD

Unless I'm mistaken, I think its called boot-0.8.0.img and it can be found on a DSL mirror under current.

Or, here is a direct link to the file:
http://ibiblio.org/pub....8.0.img
and to verify: http://ibiblio.org/pub....md5.txt

And here is the link for rawrite32.zip:

Code Sample

made a boot floppy drive, now DSL is running on my old machine!

Thanks!

But.... the old mouse doesn't work any longer, I have to use keyboard only to work on DSL. I'm quite familiar with the Keyboard Command on Windows, but not master very well under Linux, where can I find a guide about keyboard Command on DSL Linux?

EDIT: I find the guide, will read up them!

Here is main boot Log:
