How to make bootable DSL CD

kcav45 · 10-24-2007, 05:23 PM

I would like to install Damn Small Linux on bootable CD. Can someone give me Step-By-Step instructions. I downloaded the following files and have them in the same folder. What should I do next?

- aria2-0.11.3-1win32-mingw.zip 4,523 KB
- DamnSmallLinux -3.2.metalink 3 KB
- dsl-3.3.iso.metalink 10 KB
- wxDownloaddFast_0.6.0.exe 2,134 KB

Well, you actually need to download the entire dsl*.iso (not metalink). It should be something like 50MB large. I think the current version is 4.0...

If you're on Windows, use your choice burning software to "Burn Disc from Image" (somewhere under the file menus). If you don't have burning software, try CDBurnerXP, which is freeware (not open source).

On linux, I use K3b to "Burn Disc from Image".

I downloaded file DSL-4.0.ISO found with Googly search; made a bootable CD... and used it to boot the system under Damn Small Linux.

Why did DSL WiKi tell me to do download four files that are superfluous to the task?
