Thanks again for your assistance....
I've found out some more about the nature of the problem. I found out how to
navigate down thro the file structure using the <> keys. The booter is
concentating the folder names to 8 characters. Hence it cant find
"new-powermac" cos it see's it as "new-powe". I can get past the
"disks-powerpc" folder by navigating , but the booter is looking to find
"new-powermac" and cant.
Why should this be?. Is there a setting somewhere in dbootstrap?. Can I pass
it an argument to change this setting?. Maybe its a setting in my CDRom
or Drive.

Yes, it should work on DSL, as long as your provider uses a bridged
configuration, not PPP. (Mine uses DHCP, it works fine.)
