Is everyone here familiar with Metropipe and their Portable Virtual Machine ( < http://www.metropipe.net/ProductsPVPM.shtml > )? It seems to be a 126 MB package of dsl that will boot under windows or linux via qemu on a thumbdrive. I searched the forums and did not see anything on this company. While I think what they are doing is cool, I wish they would give DSL some more credit on their website. Posted by Tectron1 on Mar. 22 2005,14:19
I downloaded it last night and put it on my 256 meg thumbdrive, It's very easy to install just unzip the files to the thumb drive and double click the right batch file. It is very slow though, and Im running on a 2.8 ghz celeron, 256 megs of ram. I havent gotten the normal thumbdrive dsl working yet so I wouldnt be able to give a comparison.

Qemu is experimental, its slow.Check the embedded DSL forums Brian AwPhuch Posted by andy on April 01 2005,10:32
Hi, how did you install this as the version i downloaded came with a readme which saidWindows Instructions: Double click on 'boot-win.bat' but i don't have a boot-win.bat in the zip, please help. Posted by AwPhuch on April 06 2005,00:41
Um look again...perhaps your version of Windows removed the .bat extension...its there! Brian AwPhuch Posted by MikeP on April 06 2005,03:18
At least they mention that it is based on DSL, there are other distributions, or one-offs which don't mention DSL at all -- like Flonix and Feather.
