Hi all,

I've recently started trying to use DSL embedded on a couple of dual-Athlon, WinXP systems. Running from the dsl-windows.bat script, my cmd window dies immediately.

Are there problems with certain hardware or with other programs (virus checkers etc.)?

Thanks,
Tim

I have the same problem on Windows 98 SE. I get 'QEMU (Stopped)', program is not responding anymore, has to be killed with CTRL+ALT+DEL.

I just downloaded an older version (dsl-1.3-embedded.zip), same problem.

I'm running it from hard disk, not from USB stick.

This is my first try with Damn Small Linux

If I remember correctly, qemu does not support win9x, so you may be out of luck.

Besides, anything you would be running 98 on is likely to be slow enough that embedded would be unusably slow anyway.

Thanks for your quick reply, too bad it might not work on Win98, the readme file only says:

To use the Virtual Machine provided by Qemu...

When Running from Windows:
Double click on 'dsl-windows.bat'

It doesn't mention not running on 98.

I Know, but my Windows is very stripped down, and fast enough. I was just curious to work with DSL without having to reboot all the time to the cd, and al little easier to save settings like ip number and dns servers.

I wouldn't bother with DSL-embedded unless I was using a minimum 1.4 GHz CPU

So if you are running Win98 on that box, maybe you can get it to work. Try visiting the qemu web site and see if they can give you more info.
