is the DSL image actually located on hda? Apparently it's not being found.

ok, taking out the "-m 512" to reduce the number of variables here, I went from this:

Code Sample

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -enable-audio -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet"

to this:

Code Sample

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -enable-audio -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "toram qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet"

Each time the program runs normally, but it is significantly slower than running from my pendrive with the toram option. I'm just trying to get the most out of it.

Thanks for any ideas,
Mike
