My main obstical is getting the OS to boot at all. I made a boot floppy but when it trys to load DSL all I get is a screen that says "SYSLINUX Version: 1.76-0 (Debian, 2002-10-4)", nothing more. Is there anything I can do to load it on other then take the hard drive out and install linux using my desktop. Anything would be great. Nick. P.S. I know DSL isnt the best distro, so if theres a better one thats easier to install feel free to mention it.
