coLinux can run a linux distro on a windows system, without any emulation, and even performs better then QEMU (see here). Could someone who is proficient in linux distros make the appropriate changes to DSL to work with coLinux? Here's the basics: Converting Distributions Cheers!

Why not you?

That would be interesting anyway.
Of course Colinux would be more efficient than Qemu, but it would not be portable.
DSL's selling point is extreme mobility.

Oh, because I barely know unix or coLinux. I plan on investigating coLinux in my spare time, but I can't forsee mastering unix to the point where I can get DSL and coLinux working, like a lot of people on here could.

Why do you say it can't be portable? Just like embedded DSL you run it on the machine you want, I'm sure a fairly simple script could take care of that. Am I wrong?

check out these instructions: slackware + coLinux. They make no sense to me, maybe someone can work with this? A live CD would be awesome. Thanks!

Not sure why so strong an interest in colinux?
We use Qemu because it is a no install system supporting our promotion of DSL as a nomadic system.
If you want more speed then we have vmplayer edition of DSL, dsl-vmx.zip
Vmplayer like colinux needs to be installed on the host windows system.
And then there is kqemu the Qemu accelerator, which you also install into windows.
Along with colinux are others too. Parallel Linux. Too many images to try to keep up with.
Try dsl.vmx.zip and see if that gives the speed you need. It is simple to install and use.
