Installing Darned Small Linux Onto Your Boot Drive
When you hear the "brand" name "Damn Small Linux" these days (note the title of this post has been altered slightly to try and be as non-confrontational as possible. We don't need or want any flack from oversensitive web-monitors, and we'll be damned if we won't do everything possible to stay under the radar ;), you generally think of a bootable USB-stick/flash-card installation, or something of that nature. Damn Small Linux (DSL, from here on out, since I can hear the damn hammer falling already ;) was put together, it seems, for just that specific purpose. It's DSL, which is, by definition pretty DS ;)
Today, we're going to walk though installing it on your bootable hard drive. Sure, sure, it defeats the principal of the whole thing, but you can always just slice up two tiny little partitions and have DSL as a backup for your other OS, which may or may not completely self-destruct at any moment. Plus, it's a great idea when all you've got to work with is an old machine that won't run anything else!
