HD Install :: DSL when CDROM will not boot



Hi
Great.  Unless you absolutely need a hd install I would use a frugal install for your purposes.  There are good reasons for a hd install but frugal starts clean after each boot.
good luck
Using dsl 2 install followed by dsl-hsinstall it has installed itself nicely to the hard drive and the internet is working
I just need to learn how to set a proxy server settings at school and restrict access to some progs and we will be away. Firefox won't run but I suspect that is because the specs are too small.

Anyway cheers again

Hi again
You didn't say how much memory your systems have.  If you have the X window environment running firefox should run given enough memory.  You should have enough disk space to repartition it and create a swap partition.  I would try about 200Mb.  That should give you enough virtual memory to run it.  It will be slow but I think it will work.  It will give you a good browser to work with.

good luck
