DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Damn Small Linus for Windows

Knoppix 3.7 for Windows
shows Knoppix 3.7 merged with QEMU, resulting in a Knoppix CD which 'boots' under Windows as well as being capable of stand-alone boot.
It is possible to provide the same as an add-on kit for DSL ... about a couple of megabytes. Instructions at QEMU kit instructions
I've got a 'zoo' of prebuilt ISOs at Linux-for-Windows torrents
mostly Knoppixes, but also
SUSE 9.2 KDE Live for Windows
Would you like to do the same for DSL ? If I put the kit together, would you host it ?

Already have it..
Look in the download / current section for the DSL embedded.

Works great from a USB key !

5 way offers booting into DSL from pendrive..

1. QEMU - DSL In linux
2. QEMU - DSL In WinblOws
3. Native - DSL from USBkey
4. Native - DSL from CD Boot
5. Native - DSL from floppy

And there is a virtual 64MB HD for sharing and saving files
from whichever way you choose to run it !!
(the .iso inside the embedded is easily upgradable to the latest version)

enjoy.

Great stuff !
(You don't by any chance have a virtual OpenGL graphics adapter to replace the Cirrus Logic one ? I'd like to do LookingGlass-for-Windows ...)

DSL uses the XVesa/Tiny/Kdrive xserver, not XFree86 or X.org
There is no GL or accelerated support with this xserver.

There is another box called BOCHS... I tried DSL on it, and it worked, too.
Slow is the wrong word however. It crawled. I just wanted to see if it would
work at all.
