Maybe you can boot BL3 with the DSL kernel (it may include the CD-ROM
modules in it and you would only need the pcmcia modules for the CD-ROM
drive for BL3), mount the CD, then chroot to DSL? It helps that the DSL
pcmcia modules work with BL3. (Continue using my 2.4.31 kernel).

Two more ways to get DSL into a small partition on your Libretto:

1) put the hard disk into a laptop computer that has a CD-ROM drive and install DSL there, if it is not too thick to fit in there, or get a 2.5" adaptor and put it into a desktop computer.

2) install it to a hard disk in another computer and then transfer it using BL3 and network cable if you get a network card to work (or parallel transfer cable if you have a port, but plip won't work on all computers).

If the network card works with BL3, an ethernet bridge would be simpler but more expensive a solution.
