HD Install :: DSL question
I am new to DSL, but hear good reports on it. And I want to know, what if I don't want to run DSL like a LiveCD? I just downloaded the ISO dsl-1.4, and once I burn and run it through another computer will it ask me if I want to completely install it into the HD?
Best to get the more recent 1.5 version.
And read the "Getting Started" documentation, and the DSL wiki.
IRC is at #damnsmalllinux for questions.
Exploration with the liveCD is suggested.
You lose many benefits that DSL has to offer,
with a traditional debian-style hard drive install.

Not trying to sound negative in any way, but the Live CD concept is lost on most people. There are so many advantages to running from a live CD, especially toram, that not doing it seems like a step in the wrong direction.
DSL toram from a Live CD is very stable and frugal is an awesome way to run as well. I have not seen one Blue Screen of Death while running DSL, ever. I could go on and on and realize in this forum that I would be preaching to the choir, but sometimes I must do it anyway. Bill McGates, and others, have convinced us that running everthing installed to a hard drive is the only way to do anything. That just is not the case. DSL shows us that a change in the paradigm of computing standards as we know them can and should change. I digress....
