So you guys like the qemu?
I wasnt sure the version I used upset you guys so I pulled the one    I made for the board...
Did you guys re-write the .exe?
Would like a little pat on the back

My personal take...
It is a nice way to boot into a Linux environment without the need to burn a CD or have any other type of bootable media.  

DSL runs at about 1/10 the speed in Qemu then from a CD on the same system -- more or less.  Running DSL inside Qemu on modern hardware it will run about as fast as from a CD in an old P1 laptop.  

It is also a nice way to get DSL on some of these systems which don't seem to be vesa compliant -- like the Dells made 2 or 3 years ago.

Overall it isn't my first choice, but it is a nice choice to have.

I think Qemu is great btw.

Brian, thank you for your early effort, but my main concern was using Metropipe's code.  I wanted to make sure we were clean of anything that could be propiatary.

i am downloading now, also wondering if it will run on my p3 533 with 320something mb of ram, aaaah well, if i don't have to waste a cd to experiment then who cares. i might put it on my "cd of usefulstuff which is already bootable with dsl, would be cool to have an embedded version of dsl too. as well as the windows 98 cabs, some rescue stuff, some apps and some other junk.

Yes, but it is going to be slow. It seems that qemu's speed is really a function of processor speed.  On a 2GHz processor it will run at a functional speed, but on a 500MHz system it is going to be frustrating.
