We have dsl-2.1b-vmx.zip which is vmware ready. Vmware and Qemu are very different. Vmware must be installed on to your windows machine. Qemu as implemented with DSL does not, and is there very nomadic. Of course you can get the accelerator but then again not nomadic and requires priv's to install software on windows. You have your choice. Wmware seems to provide better access to local physical drives. You can even install DSL to pendrive from within a Vmware/DSL session. You can get this vmware ready version here

anyone know how to install gcc1.dsl so that it stays installed on reboot?
OR
how can make dsl install it on boot?
Since you posted this question in "DSL Embedded," I'm assuming you're booting a virtual maching from a USB drive via QEMU.
I was successful in auto loading a few extensions by mounting /mnt/hdb and putting the extensions in there. Then, in the windows.bat file, I append a "mydsl=hdb" cheatcode.
The other extensions that I didn't autoloaded, but that I did want to have available, I saved in /cdrom, which I then added to ~/.filetool.lst
