I'm running Damn Small Linux on my laptop. It has a script to install to Hard Disk. Dpkg is easy to add. Download a tar.gz from the DSL homepage, untar, and cp to some library folder. (forget the path offhand, minor detail).
Run xsetup.sh to select Xfbdev or Xvesa. My laptop, an Acer travelmate 514T running a Celery 466MHz, seems to run fine either way. Default desktop is fluxbox. I prefer IceWM, but haven't succeeded in getting it going on this machine yet. I found it much easier to get Debian running on my laptop doing it this way, than starting with a "pure debian" sarge CD. Amanda.
