Gathering from here I should be able to put the dsl-embedded on a USB thumb drive, and run it off of there, in windows, correct? The thumb drive it formatted in FAT32, so is there something I'm missing here? Will the dsl-embedded allow for installation of other packages(firefox, to replace dillo, for instace)?

Thanks.

well if you have a writable file system then you can go do whatever you want to the file system, including installing other programs. wether DSL contains all the required libraries to support it though is a different thing.

Yup you can run embedded off your usb drive. Running it you will also be able to use the mydsl system in order to add programs (apps->tools->mydsl extension browser).

That is SO COOL!!! It looks as though it already has firefox? I'm using dsl-embedded-2.0. Thanks!

Yup firefox is included in the base distro. Have fun.

I'm using damn small linux for a while and wanted to try qemu. Done! and with the accelerator its better.
Brilliant.

It may have been asked on another thread but how do you configure the network?

the xp has 1 ethernet connection on say 220.220.220.1/24 and Default gateway 220.220.220.220

so in dsl , I've put 220.220.220.2/24 and default gateway the XP: 220.220.220.1

And xp doesnt want to have private and public internet on the same ethernet..

There is a bridge to configure, NAT ?


Any help would be appreciated

edit
use dhcp in dsl, so easy

By the way, the documentation refers to version 0.8 while the winbloze installer is 0.7...
If you want to get a newer installer:

On this one I have sound using dsound.

Nice gadget

I just downloaded the dsl-embedded onto my thumb drive, and I run the .bat file, and it works. I don't have any thing installed on the HD.

I'm still looking for a way to share data between the weindows and the embended.
Without Netbios (which has died long long time ago on my machine)
without a cygwin nfs also

Apparently you can use ssh to transfer between the host Win and dsl. Never done it. In an emergency you can upload data somewhere (eg uploadhut.com) and download it again onto the other system.

Running dsl within the free VMWare on Windows is altogether easier and much faster (but not at all portable), and you can transfer data easily by mounting a usb stick on either os.

ummm.....can't you just use the FAT32 fs on the thumb drive(usb stick, whatever you want to call it), and write to that from dsl?
