Hi, I have just installed DSL on my windows machine but the windows QEMU application window that contains DSL is too small for my liking, and I can't seem to expand or adjust the size of the window. Could anyone help me out with this? I am new to DSL and returning to Linux after not having used it for a few years now, so I apologise if I am being a bit useless with sorting this out. Thanks in advance.

Do you mean the resolution or are you trying to go full screen?

yes, full screen would be good but you don't seem to be able to expand the QEMU window, or adjust the size of it.

Press ctrl-alt-f to go full screen, do it again to return to the window.

Change the actual resolution using the system->xvesa item in the right click menu

If you are talking of the initial qemu window, the one before going into X mode, you can add the vga= parameter after -append" ... "
