The main dev for DSL left, the updates are few to null. If it's not dead, it's dying.
A newer, smaller, and active distro by one of the main devs of DSL is called TINYCORE. It's 10mbs and can direct-copy to an active hard drive to install.
If TinyCore is too big, the same dev makes MicroCore. A full 2mb smaller.
