Nopers. Sorry.

DSL requires a coprocessor.

I think that older versions (<0.5.0) it would work with no coprocessor, but that was a long time ago.

Some time ago I did compile a kernel for PC's without coprocessors: http://www.ipt.ntnu.no/~knutb/dsl/index.html

Take a look at the Readme.txt file for a (very) short how-to.
