i have tried the same thing as DImGR and have the same result.
this "problem" has bin since the first dsl-embed.
it appears the files : dsl-linux.sh and qemu do not have the exe-bit set.
i can be solved easy.
add 1 line to dsl-embed.sh

Code Sample

#/bin/bash
chmod 764
exec ./qemu -L . -hda harddisk -cdrom dsl.iso -boot d -m 256 -enable-audio -user-net -localtime

and call it as: sh ./dsl-linux.sh
or

Code Sample

cd /to_the_dir_you_put_dsl-embed
chmod 764 dsl-linux.sh
chmod 764 qemu

then you call it as: dsl-linux.sh

<edit>
i just remebered.
if you extract to a windows(fat) filesystem. ALL mod-bits are set.
if you extract to a linux (ext2) filesystem NOT all m0d-bits are set
so it is posible roberts and DImGR have different results on testing dsl-embeded.

My guess is that roberts has installed DSL-embedded on a USB drive (FAT file system) while everyone else is trying to install it to a native EXT2 partition on a hard drive or in the RAMdisk.

No. Actually, downloaded into /home/dsl the ramdisk. unzip in ramdisk. It is OK.
Second test. download to ext2, unzip into ext2. It is OK.

However, I am using DSL and the unzip program that is in DSL.

Could it be the version of unzip that others are using?

Normally I would not use zip. But lets be real this is primarily for Windows users and that is why I am using zip.

If manually setting the perms is the answer then OK. But I still like to get to the bottom of these kinds of things. Can anyone else verify that running DSL using DSL's unzip works. I know I am exhausted from all the work that when into this release. But honsetly, this morning, I again verified that it works.
