Unable to execute DSL embedded on WindowsForum: DSL Embedded Topic: Unable to execute DSL embedded on Windows started by: meteoman Posted by meteoman on Jan. 03 2006,00:45
Some help for a real Linux/DSL newbie...I've downloaded and unzipped the dsl-2.0-embedded files in my Windows directory. As far as I can tell, the unzip went fine. When I click on the batch job it appears for about 5 sec "REM Start qemu on Windows" then disappears with no DSL startup. I can Boot DSL fine from my hard drive - but no luck from Windows. I'm using Windows 98 on Gateway laptop with 133MHz MMX processor and 64mb of RAM. Any ideas? Thanks.Ray Posted by roberts on Jan. 03 2006,01:19
You don't have enough memory or horses for Qemu.I can just barely run Qemu DSL on a 500Mhz with 256MB ram. I think most users are saying acceptable performance requires 1Ghz+ and 512MB+ Posted by cbagger01 on Jan. 03 2006,12:24
The fast Mhz is more important than the RAM.You can get by running DSL embedded with 256MB of RAM but a faster CPU is a must. Posted by pr0f3550r on Jan. 04 2006,10:23
No way you can run embedded on a computer like that. However I could run embedded + kqemu accelerator on a slightly better machine but that was Win 2000. I don't think you can run the kqemu accelerator on win 98. |
