Searching this Forum tells us the username "DSL" [Enterr] and password: (will not echo to screen as you type) "password" {Enter] . Neither one in quotes, of course.

The DSL Virtual Machine runs beautifully. Good work. This is my first experience with DSL and I like it. It's lean and quick but with all the essentials.

Hi,

From an earlier post I thought I would experiment...
If you have more hhd space then another option is to use a larger Linux Live CD iso instead of the iso image of DSL.
I have found that I got Knoppix 4.0.2 working on my VM Ware PC.
This gives a much richer FULL GUI experience than DSL.
As it is so good I am going to try SLAX the Kill Bill edition now...

PPPoE not working....

I'm not sure if it is DSL or if it is my vmware but when I click on the PPPoE it says it can't find a connection, it doesn't even ask me for details....

My 2 cents about the VWplayer + the dsl image:
I tried that on: Win Xp, 128 RAM, 800 MHZ. It took about 35 mins to install the vwplayer, it runs more or less as fast as dsl + the kqemu accelerator (that's good stuff indeeed), it is not portable, that is it does not make sense to install it onto a memory stick as it makes a lot of changes onto the registry.
Conclusion: I'll stick with dsl+ qemu + kqemu.

By the way: on the above machine kqemu gave me at least 2-3 times acceleration
