never had a C64,

after list it looks like this:

The fast loader looks like a separate program that you would load and run before loading the other program. To load the other program, simply type a command like the following.
LOAD "DIZZY 3.2+4/TGMS",8,1
You may have already known that part, but I wanted to be thorough.
Good luck!

well, problem is after load "fastloadblah blah",8 it does nothing
there is only one line in memory which is something like SYS1456 and it only does clear screen
loading game directly also does this but SYSnumber is different

To me it looks like that the beginning of the listing isn't visible. I mean there are 3 blocks free and all the stuff here take 0 blocks. What do you see if you interrupt the listing by keying run stop right after executing list? Or if you just 'LOAD"*",8'?
As a rule, always use:
LOAD"FILENAME",8,1
This loads the file to its original start-address in memory (dropping the ",1" loads the file to the BASIC start address).
The command SYS (followed by a number) starts program execution at the specified memory address.
For example: SYS4096 jumps to memory address 4096 (hexa $1000) and starts execution from there.
As for what you describe with the fast-loader, its quite simple.
After loading & running the fast-loader file, it installs itself instead of the built-in OS loader.
Any load operation done after this point will use the fast-loader (unless it was overrun in memory or replaced by a different load routine).
This type of loader has one big disadvantage: it sits in RAM, which means a loaded program can overrun it.
Better find a cheap fast-loader cartridge, if thats all you need!
Hope this helps

first steps...
first steps...
I am not going to interfere with Uberfreak exellent advice. (and this is only an addon)
Think chain is confused a little, that's why i am adding:
You will need to load, run the fast loader probably and do the same thing with a program afterwards. (the fast loader can be compared with a driver in pc world)
C64 always want's LOAD AND RUN COMMAND.
If you get anything else then SYS xxxx like a basic listing from the list command, it probably means it is not an interesting program, since it is mostly a basic program and the basic in a c64 is not worth much..(slow)
Like already mentioned a good cartridge if you are talking first steps at a C64, is no lux, so you can use the function key's to load,navigate.
Jiffydos is the most preferable, and still available new. (build in roms) I use the final cartridge III somethimes to.
