VMware has released there VMware server which is free for now, with it you can install DSL from a cd or just the current iso in about 10 minutes.

The windows version requires a server version, linux version does not care.

Hi,
downloaded the windows zio no problem,
Installed it and it runs fine with VMWare Player except...
I can't get it to login with either user.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks
Gavin

The DSL VM is great. How does the growable disk work? I'd like to increase the size, but I'm not sure where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I'm pretty new to all this. Typically use suse, but checked out DSL as well as many other various distros... I really like DSL, I bought a 512mb pen drive, and am experimenting which install I prefer. I'm having some trouble getting embedded going. I have downloaded and installed VMware to my laptop... about as far as I got. My main question is, if I need to install VMware, which is larger than DSL itself, what is the point? I guess not having to reboot? Was I wrong in believing that I could run DSL from my pendrive, as imbedded on any compatable computer without installing software to the host?
