DSL and F@H

Ok, so I've finally gotten my PIII computer up and going. In fact I'm typing this message from it now.

My question is basically, how do I get F@H running on DamnSmallLinux? I've downloaded the executable file (for Linux), but I have no idea where it is or how to start it. Also, does anyone know how to install DSL to a hard drive? I have one sitting unused right now and I think it'd be easier to work with.

If there are any other Linux distros that natively need to be installed to a hard drive but still have little overhead, I'd be willing to switch to one of those too.

Thanks for any/all help. I'm a total Linux noob.

I'm feeling minimalist, today.

Ah, that's not really minimalist. Thanks for the help. I'll try to get started on that tonight. I will undoubtedly have more questions then. Thanks!

I am now officially folding! Hoorah!

I decided to use Xubuntu instead of DSL. It works great and is really user friendly with very little overhead. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone inexperienced with Linux, as it doesn't feel like Linux. Also, my Pentium III is running this thing faster than my Dell Laptop. It FEELS fast. Which is great.
