Back to my original idea. I've now managed to snatch up a fine little 512 MB Trekstor stick. Looks just like my 64MB stick just more roomy :;):

Anyway: How do I get the dual goodness of qemu and bootable linux?

Do I just install DSL from the CD-Rom with the "Install to USB-Pendrive HDD" and then copy the additional qemu files to the pendrive?

And if so where does the 5way-script come in? How do I use that?

So far I'm quite fond of DSL, but find that it's sometimes a little short on documentation - as in this case :;):

...apart from that: Keep up the superb work! :laugh:

Very little documentation is needed for the 5 way.
What is needed is contained within the 5 way itself.

Download the 5way.tgz from the current section of the repository.
Open and have fun.

Okay I see...

...just one thing: The 5-way-script is not entirely correct. It tries to fetch a file called "dsl-embedded" from the mirror at ibiblio.org. Problem is, that there is only a file called "dsl-embedded.zip" on ibiblio.org.
It's no trouble fixing it, if you now the tiniest bit about scripting in linux, but I can image some newbies can be seriously confused if all the script does is throw out an error when trying to fetch the packet...

Where would be the right place to report such things, by the way?

Yeah it's pretty slick. But as it says: It's pretty slow as well ;-)

QEMU speeds up quite a bit if you use the QEMU Accelerator (which as of QEMU 7 now supports Windows). You have to build the accelerator module yourself (license terms prohibit redistributing the binary) but doing so is pretty easy.
