kqemu is the accelerator. It is not required.
If you so choose you can install the kqmeu into your windows system.
We use Qemu only in its non-install method. Thus any pendrive with dsl-embedded should work on any windows systems without any installation to the host windows os

I'm happy to see that this round of development does include the scsi drivers as not having them was preventing me from installing on a machine with an Adapter AHA-2940. Now the software finds "SCSI devices handled by aic7xxx.o". However, for some reason the single scsi disk gets recognized as /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda, which prevents using cfdisk within normal DSL. Starting with the "dsl 2" option I can partition the disk (I created sdb1 for swap, sdb2 for the dsl image and sdb3 for /home and /mydsl).
BUT, and here comes my question: I'm not able to do a frugal install (the program says to work only for hda1):
** Is there a modification of the frugal_install.sh script that would work in my case?
** Do I need to change something on the adapter to have the disk be recognized as /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb.

Thanks!

Is your scsi adaptec set for channel 0 or channel 1?

Even though KQEMU errors out, I can still start RC2 if I remove the -audiohw sb16 line from the bat file...I tried setting it to other options (from the QEMU docs) but any time that line is in the file, it crashes the startup routine when it gets to "Uncompressing Linux..."

I haven't installed it on my pen drive yet, as I want to make sure it is working correctly. The QEMU docs didnt help much.

Its weird because the old version of QEMU with RC1 works fine. I am starting to believe it is a QEMU issue and not a DSL issue...
