Cant find a working link/mirror to download Damn Small Linux!!
there r link sites all over the net claiming i can ddownload DSL but none of this is true all links are dead
someone post one that they know works or email me please |
Just keep trying again. This works for me: ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/damnsmalllinux.org/

Yo! Welcome!
Looks like you are in a hurry? Did you have time to find the projects website? I did: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ Once you are there you will find the download links. Some of them may not work - the ones I tried did... found you another one: http://iso.linuxquestions.org/damn-s...all-linux-4.3/ You are welcome! Also to look around a little before you ask. ;) |
And you may want to remove your email address from your post - harvesters love to see those out in the clear.

still no joy
so after i open ftp in windows i copy these folders to my hardrive and ive got linux? is this correct??
sum1 give me a step by step coz either the site freezes or the folders look mighty empty. |
After you download the ISO image, you still need to burn it to a CD and then boot from that CD..
|
It may sound superfluous but I feel like it:
You should try reading a little of the documentation - it would clarify a lot. You can use your browser to download the image. To deliberately add a little confusion: of course you have linux after you downloaded ... there are however a few more steps before you can actually use it. (see Nylex's post) The step-by-step is given in the documentation. Could you please try to spell properly? And explain what you did and how that did not give the result you expected? |
so now that ive got dsl i find that i cannnot connect to the internet. is this because i use netgearwn111? where would i install all the netgearwn111 folders in dsl? what is the equivelent process vis-a-vis the windows setup?
|
What is netgearwn111? A google search turns up nothing. Can you elaborate of this type of hardware, exact make and model?
|
Scratch the netgear for now ive found somthing else... how do i get linux to recognise that i have an inbuilt g+ wifi antenae so i can surf with it.
because it sure aint finding it automaticaly. |
You can boot up DSL now?
Almost any wired connection (LAN) would be working out of the box. Maybe not so the wireless - especially if your hardware is not supported in linux. Try if you can make it work by checking out the options given to you via: Setup --> Net Setup --> wlcardconfig or Setup --> Net Setup --> ndiswrapper For the latter you have to provide the driver file that you use in Windows to make your card work (the .inf) - but try the former first to see if the card is natively supported. Alternatively - and/or to enable us to help you - give specific information on what hardware you have. For this, post the output of the command: Code:

So you gonna start providing details or are you going to make us ponder and wonder what you're actually trying to get working? I couldn't imagine how many makes and models of "built-in G antenna" there are with a google search. :sigh: |
