Exploring Damn Small Linux 2024 in Qemu - anatolewilson - 07-24-2024 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. RE: Exploring Damn Small Linux 2024 in Qemu - John - 07-24-2024 HI Anatolewilson, Yes, it should be fairly easy to add Finnish keyboard In later version I actually dropped BaldWolf and added in Firefox-ers and Netsurf. I also updated Dillo to the latest release. You may be surprised by the performance of Netsurf and DIllo, but if you are looking for full HTML5 support Firefox would be the way to go. You should probably grab the latest ISO, it has quite a few bugs ironed out. |
