hi guys,
I was fed up with the blue screen of windows, so I turned 2 linux, I searched around and I found DSL. So 2 try it out before chucking windows out of window I fitted the Embedded DSL. However I have not managed simple things with this Embedded Linux. No MAN pages in DSL makes it worse.
I did not find the 'where' command as also many other commands.  

Y isn't there a PDF file giving a summary of the commands included excluded.

All the books I keep refering 2 have many commands I do not find in DSL. It gets frustrating.

I tried  "smbtree -k" and I get "No kerberos support compiled in"

Also I am unable 2 read existing FAT32 File system with my EMBEDDED  DSL.  
The Other LIVE CD DSL can read as well as write  on my existing FAT32 system

Also I read that there is a SIS controller problem, which can be rectified with DMA cheat.  However there are no options for cheat with the Embedded system.

Can anyone suggest a site/doc where I can find info for DSL
A site which is useful for a newbi who works on windows 2000

HELP

If you have $20 to $25, Mike Weber's book is a good investment.  http://spidertools.com/dsl_review.php

@Ankuryu ,
documentation on DSL is scattered here and there, I blame you only partially.
All issue you address have been discussed before. Use the seach facility in the forum.
I have assembled a url so you can search for a keyword within the DSL and QEMU forum and the qemu-devel mailing list:
