Been trying out the new DSL in Qemu, it's generally working really nicely. I've been missing this kind of fully featured live CD environment for a while now, so it's neat to see DSL come back to fill that void. This post is currently being typed from within the Damn Small Linux 2024 environment.
I have had two issues on it thus far. First one is the lack of a Finnish keyboard layout option, but I presume it will not be that hard to create my own image with it included. Second is that BadWolf seems to crash sometimes, as noted by some other users here. It doesn't seem to be consistent -- I lost the first version of this post trying to check the AntiX minimum processor requirements, but after starting it from a terminal (so that I'd see what gets printed to stderr on crash, if anything) and trying to navigate to the same page it did not crash.
Since AntiX seems to support down to Pentium II, I'll try to test DSL also on my Thinkpad T23 at some point and report back.

Because of the difficulties I am have with google under the default browser I am trying to install fire fox.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ins...tributions
Following the link shuts down the browser.
Here is the text from the link:
Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions
To install the .deb package through the APT repository, do the following:
Create a directory to store APT repository keys if it doesn't exist:
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
Import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:
wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg -O- | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > /dev/null
If you do not have wget installed, you can install it with: sudo apt-get install wget
The fingerprint should be 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3
gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); print "\n"$0"\n"}'
Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null
Configure APT to prioritize packages from the Mozilla repository:
echo '
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla
Update your package list and install the Firefox .deb package:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
ran
seemed to install but there is no X11 server in this config

Running in VBox VM.
2GB memory 1 CPU Live session.
Tried to log into gmail. Pressed enter key
Got a 400 Error.
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.
Tried again and pressing next after the email adresss garble the input field and
does not move onto the passsword.
I am logged into this form right now.

Booted in Virtual Box. Most basic thing worked as expected.
Browsing work fine too
Booted on an Atom based HP mini PC (Mini Laptop).
1 GB with 250 GB spinning disk.
Did not boot with the default install.
Running on the safe video mode some messages
but it did come up.
Trying install on hard disk. 10 minutes in 53% done.
swap partition already on hard disk (it was prepared for Puppy but
puppy's install to HD gave me some issues)
Install done in about 20 minutes.
Tuxpuck worked fine but the game play was to fast for me to play well.
from power on to use about 1 minute
First login screen tab does not move from Username to password fields .
Enter does work.
Investigating some funny things with the browser. Cannot log in to gmail.
