I've done some work on the CPU and RAM sections. Will be back after the weekend with some massive updates and a couple points to discuss.

Looks great & very informative. If you want, you can just submit what you like and I'll take care of putting it into the guide. The other option (seeing as how you're already organizer) would be that you create any sections you want. Feel free.

Yes Henning it is possible to install DSL to your hard-drive, and it comes with all the necessary drivers to run your hardware. The MBR is the Master Boot Record section of your harddisk, and DSL Linux comes with both GNU GRUB and LILO bootloaders (when you install to hard-disk you can choose which bootloader to write to the MBR to start up Linux). The nice thing about Linux is that you can mount non-Linux partitions (like your FAT16/32 partition), resize them, format them, and do file and directory operations on their contents.

OK, but you will have problems if you install DSL to hard disk first. So first install FreeDOS, then use XFDISK (under FreeDOS binaries) to create your Linux partition, then (still in FreeDOS) install XOSL (Extended Operating Sys Loader). Then reboot with the DSL CD and install to hard disk with Lilo bootloader option.
If you do this, you will have a screen when you boot up the computer, with options for which OS you want to boot up with. |

Don't remind me about those problems. I had tons of them with freedos and ubuntu once.
