No, I don't know how to do it yet so I am asking the question here

I have done two things:

I burned the iso image on a CD and
I also downloaded the embedded version which is the one I would really like to use

It would be great to know what place to click and what to do next

The other thing is: How do I use my dial-up connection with dsl making it run on top of my Fedora?

Kind regards,

-D-

You should be able to cd to the dsl directory and run:

Code Sample

./dsl-linux.sh

Incidentally, I tried on a SUSE 10- AMD 64 and I failed miserably, but that's my problem!

About the dial-up, I'd start the ppp connection in Fedora first and the launch Qemu, that will
work as a virtual router between the embedded computer (dsl) and the gateway (Fedora).
If you like this stuff, i suggest that you register to the < QEMU FORUM >

Many thanks for your reply: First I connect to the Internet with Fedora. Then I should open a terminal in Fedora and point towards the cd. After that, I write the piece of code you gave me ./dsl-linux.sh and that's it?

I ran the live distro yesterday and it was very cool. I am in the process of creating a pendrive

Alright! Alright! Alright!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

To run the embedded DSL on top of Fedora Core:

1.Burn a CD with the unzipped files of DSL embedded
2. While Fedora is running, connected to the Internet, insert CD with DSL embedded files.
3. Open terminal [I didn't become su] and

Code Sample

cd /media/cdrom

or whatever your CD media is.
4. In the terminal do

Code Sample

./dsl-linux.sh

5. DSL will start on a separate window and yes, I am writing this post from DSL

Booting the live disk was also very , very cool...

I am in love

I'm trying to get an embedded DSL 2.1 to run from my flash drive in Fedora Core 3. I can't get mine to work. When I goto terminal and find directory and type dsl-linux.sh it sais "no such file or directory" - but it's there! Any tips?

Please show me the following:

1. Directory where you placed the embedded dsl. Did you unzip it? If no, proceed to unzip the file and put all the contents in /home/dsl or burn the contents to a cd.

Then it is simple:

Code Sample

cd /home/dsl
./dsl-linux.sh

If you want to run dsl embedded from the cd do:

Code Sample

cd /media/cdrom
./dsl-linux.sh

You may want to see the contents of the unzipped files in the cd to see that all the embedded zip files are unzipped...

Let me know...

I unzipped the embedded version into my flash drive, so I can have a little personal operating system where ever I go. It runs fine in XP Pro when I dble click the windows file. But when I open terminal in Linux and type either "/dsl-linux.sh" or "/media/name/dsl/dsl-linux.sh I get an error telling me the file or directory doesn't exist. Everything is layed out correctly becuase it works on windows, I'm just a slight newbie to linux so I'm poor at troubleshooting linux and catching my errors. Any ideas as to what I'm doing incorrectly?

The command has a dot in front of it:

Code Sample

./dsl-linux.sh

At the command prompt change to the directory that has dsl embedded:

Code Sample

cd /media/cdrom

Then list the files there:

Code Sample

ls -a

If dsl-linux.sh is there then you should be good and you should be able to run:

Code Sample

./dsl-linux.sh

With a dot (or a period, or a full stop...)

Let me know... OK?
