Yes I know I installed the wrong iso but I can not install a different ISO because of hardware issues so I need to know how to add QEMU to the existing install

Its not an iso. It is a zip file. In Windows download it and unzip.

Im apoligize for not providing background information.

The system I installed DSL onto does not have Windows on it. It has no other operating system other than DSL.

It has a SCSI CD drive attached to an Adaptec 2940 which has a bios that does not support booting from CD Drives.

The four hard drives in it are IDE.

The system is located behind very heavy boxes and I do not want to move them unless I absolutley must to attach an IDE CD drive temporarly to boot from a copy of DSL with QEMU already built.

I want to add QEMU to the existing install.

MannL, if you've done a hard drive install, just enable apt and either load up synaptic and find it in there or do an apt-get install qemu.
