I'm wondering, is the Embedded ISO any diffrent then the normal DSL ISO? And if so, what is the diffrence?

knoppix? would work i guess but be horribly horribly horribly slow.

I tried it on SLAX with 256Megs reserved ram and it was almost unbearably slow on a 2.4Ghz P4 machine...Was nice to see though Brian AwPhuch Posted by salan3 on Nov. 16 2004,15:26
funny i have just tried slax on a tosh laptop (a30, ) using 128 on a p4 and it was fine.I usually use VMWARE and thought that i would try embedded.The hard disk image wont partition though (wont let me write table comes back with ileagal op) so am I missing something?

VMWARE is a completely different program from qemu...VMWARE cost alot of $ (if its legit...hehe), qemu is GPL and is still in development I use VirtualPC from Connectix (b4 M$ bought em out..go figure) and thats what I use to compile kernels and whatnot for making MODS on my firewall app called SmoothWall... Those other apps have been tested, retested, and have a huge funded team working on them, qemu is a different story, but its FREE Brian AwPhuch Posted by salan3 on Nov. 17 2004,17:20

Multiple licences! > qemu is GPL and is still in development >I use VirtualPC from Connectix (b4 M$ bought em out..go figure) >and thats what I use to compile kernels and whatnot for >making MODS on my firewall app called SmoothWall... Interested to hear what you think of it. Iwas not so keen. >Those other apps have been tested, retested, and have a >huge funded team working on them, qemu is a different >story, but its FREE Can you give me a url for qemu as I would like to find out more. It would be an ideal alternative for my students to use. (I am a lecturer at a college of further ed). I use VMWare for demonstrations and for testing new OS's/configs and find it very good.It is to pricey for my students to get though and a lot would like to try versions of linux etc but do not want to alter there machine (usually a family machine and alterations are on pain of death!)

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ Its still in development (isnt all linux in development!!) It unfortunately runs slower/less efficient as VMWare or VirtualPC Its not bad though..it at least runs Good luck with it! Brian AwPhuch Posted by ico2 on Nov. 25 2004,17:27
