myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: qemu for dsl.



Quote (roberts @ Dec. 08 2004,18:51)
But since DSL is primarily a liveCD. I don't know how practical that would be.

this is the way i have it. i have dsl on my 512mB thumb drive. and i have if load the "knoppix" file so it is still like a livecd, but i can add, remove, delete files, from that drive. so i was thinking of having a 150mB partition or harddrive image that i can edit. move files and do stuff. i hate windows but i have to use it for a few reasons. one most importantly not all source code are avable, so u can only really install it to one os (windows), i`ve tried wine for linux and its good but dose not do every thing. i not going to explan all the reason i have to use windows. but and any case it be nice to have it. and when i`m talking a/b make a .dsl of qemu i`m not talking a/b putting windows with it just all the files u need in order torun a diff os

My guess is that Windows 95 would work fine with it.

I guess you would need to capture your Windows 95 install CD into an *.iso file and then try and boot from that iso.  The Qemu site includes a "hard drive image" creation utility for making an emulated hard drive into a file.

You also need some kind of fix for a problem that Windows 95 has with the "hlt" instruction.

Check out the qemu website documentation for more details.
i have "installed" a win98se in side qemu run by dsl.

1. create a 500Mb diskimage
Code Sample

dd if=/dev/zero of=windisk bs=1M count=500


2. insert bootable win98se install cd in the cdromdrive

3. start qemu. it will use the real cdrom no need for an *.iso
Code Sample

exec ./qemu -L . -hda windisk -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -m 256 -enable-audio -user-net -localtime


4. inside quemu "install" win98se

5. once installed. use start-suhutdown

6. now to use this qemu-win do to "boot" from c:
Code Sample

exec ./qemu -L . -hda windisk -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot c -m 256 -enable-audio -user-net -localtime
i guess i never go my point a cross but w/e, thanks. but i have done it i run dsl and then run windows in side that
thanks  :)  :)  :)

would anyone like a souped up version of dsl (knopppix), to do only 2 things on it, run a terminal and run qemu now i`m not just talking a/b running windows but any os, i persional would not mind a protable version of slackware or gentoo maybe even redhat or turbolinux. i`ll be willing to make it. if i ever get off my *ss add learn how to edit knoppix. just wanted to see if any one want it besides me?
thanks
