You have to restart your computer with the cd in it, it should start. If not, go in the BIOS setup to get your computer looking for a cd when you restart. Sorry for my weird english. I hope it helped

That's the only thing i know, i'm a newbie, but maybe it's the information you need

do you want to run dsl from within windows?

in that case you need to download "dsl-embedded".

one you unzip it in windows all you have to do is run "dsl-windows.bat".

good.

follow splout's advice if you want to boot from DSL - although you cannot do this from the embeded version - only the standard....
