I tried it but it was "too small" for me , I like large distros with tons of packages ^^

i d/l DSL once to run it on my old laptop, but it didn't boot, so i was quite disappointed

If you wan`t a live cd for repairing things I could suggest ,grml ,it`s a nice text mode live cd distro based on knoppix.

If you want to repair something it`s better not to have the gui ,cause it`s much fater trough the terminal.

I wonder if dsl would work on my old del 386 I believe? I think the thing only has about 4 megs of ram or less and a 70 meg hdd Furthermore, if you want damn small windows, give this a try. I have an old 8086 running MS windows 1.5 which is like a text only version of 3.1 but with significantly reduced functionality. On top of that, it takes about five minutes to boot what with the computer only having 640k of ram
