I think (Microsoft Windows-)Embedded DSL is waaaay cool. The main problem I've encountered is that the virtualization process seems to "hide" any formatted hard disk the Windows PC has - and yes, even its floppy! Is there hope there will one day be a method for passing data through disk files between embedded DSL and its Windows host?

I suppose one "work-around" might be to run an FTP server on the Windows machine. Embedded DSL seems to have no problem reaching Web hosts on the Internet via the PC's LAN.

Embedded DSL is a great way to introduce users of a Windows machine to DSL - no CD-drive (much less a physical CD) required! A local effort in which I place some hopes looks to give DSL-based PCs to needy folks for use at home. The ability to provide experience with DSL at a local library running Windows on its PCs would be a very welcome enabler of this ambition.

Sorry to bother everyone with a redundant thread! (RTFM?) The answer to my query seems to be posted in detail here:

The solution proposed is to use a Windows Share.
