DSL Embedded :: VMWare free VM (sort of)

Thanks to Fuzzy God for providing the upload space.

VM details are as follows:

VM was created using VMware Workstation 5.0 release available for download from VMware's website.

Configured with :
- DSL 1.5.0 with multi-login
- 128MB RAM
- 250 MB HDD (Growable VMDK) <currently of size 125MB>
- Brdige Networking
- Buslogic SCSI Controller (Virtual)

Zip File Contains the .vmx file, the vmdk file and the nvram file.

2 default users
root
dsl

password for both users is password

any problems let me know.

Sorry this is no longer hosted here. For the newest DSL images see DSL

You can make your own if you like !
see : http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000153064739/
for all the right clues.
I did something like this :
make a disk file using qemu-img e.g "E:\qemu>qemu-img create -f vmdk dsl.vmdk 512M"
alter the .vmx to boot off the DSL iso,
and load your new dsl.vmdk
When booted, note you have a virtual hd on hda.
partition it using fdisk from within DSL, (I just made the one, hda1) then right click the desktop and choose the install to hard disk option. follow instructions whilst noting that you can only destroy your virtual disk file, just make another if it doesn't work out.
reboot the VM.
It boots ! it works!
much much faster than QEMU, networking and sound etc just seem to work straight out of box for me on win2k.

Apologies for my vagueness, I'm afraid I was rather drunk when I did this, and am now hung over, but that only goes to show how easy it is even for an idiot like myself.

Here's my experience with the DSL VM:

1. The sound doesn't work, even after loading alsadebs.dsl.
2. You have to click on Ethernet and select NAT. After that configure the networking inside DSL

On my host computer, I have Realtek ALC350 AC97 sound.

Works perfectly. No errors, no glitches and on the net wothout a single bit of config.

You Rock Pmehta.
