Please note: Do to the innovation of the new 5-way install script all our USB pens are now bootable via USB-Zip and also Qemu!
Is there any way to turn my usb-stick into such a wondrous item? And is it in fact the *same* DSL they boot into, or is it rather an embedded installation and a seperate USB-Zip installation?
I'd love to have one installation of DSL on my meager 64 MB stick and be able to boot from USB as well as use Qemu to boot inside a host OS.
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated (as would be a way to search the forums - maybe this question is already answered and I didn't find it?).The 5-way script needs around 70mb (50mb of DSL + usb boot stuff + qemu) , so you will need a 128mb usb dongle to do it, but yes, it works like that. Bootable from inside windows, or natively, via usb-zip.
-J.P.Okay, thank you very much.
...I might just be running off to buy a larger USB stick, would surprise myself too much
If I do - where do I get the new 5-way script?
Okay I just saw them on the FTP at ibiblio Another wonderfull thing about Qemu(the program that runs dsl embedded) is that you can d-load any linux flavor .iso image and boot it with qemu as well.
you can boot: inside windows...
slackware trinux Redhat Solaris dsl window almost all flavors
qemu is what i've been waiting for all my life.Yeah it's pretty slick. But as it says: It's pretty slow as well ;-)
Anyways it is a great thing, if I encounter noticably faster machines or qemu speed-up is working it might change the way I work with linux quite a bit. Together with DSL I can finally have a desktop-on-the-go. I especially love the use of fluxbox - as I'm a big fan of blackbox (on windows as well).
I even considered installing a win98 on a usb stick with qemu, but I canned that idea, because its pretty pointless Next Page...
