| Quote (cbagger01 @ April 20 2005,23:23) | If you want to save them for your embedded system, boot DSL in QEMU and go to the menu and choose Emelfm as Super User
Then go to the /mnt directory
Then right click on "hdb" and choose "Mount" from the menu.
Then copy your extension files over to /mnt/hdb or to /mnt/hdb/optional/ |
That looks SO simple, so the fact that it doesn't work must mean I am missing the point...
Using DSL1.0, booted from within QEMU hosted on WinXP.
In /mnt/hdb I have a file lynx.dsl, retreived from the DSL repository.
If I invoke MyDSL on that file from within the FileManager the app installs and I can run it from the shell as dsl@box: lynx
If I then reboot my DSL in QEMU session the file
/mnt/hdb/lynx.dsl
is restored, but the lynx application is not installed.
Can you gently tell me what it is that I haven't understood? Am I right to expect to be able to run dsl@box: lynx from the shell after a reboot, without invoking the .dsl loader myself?
[EDIT]
A follow-up, having had a break and a shower! I haven't tried it, but I think that what I overlooked, which is documented elsewhere, is the need to pass a MyDSL argument at boottime which points to the stored .dsl files.
For the DSL-Embedded package, I think that means editting the dsl-windows.bat script to add an appropriate MyDSL= to the Append string which currently reads
"qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet"
I think this needs to become
"qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet mydsl=harddisk"
