Im quite pleasently surprised with DSL embedded. The performance on my 1.2 gHz box is more than acceptable, and it means I dont have to fool around with getting the wireless driver installed. The problem I have run into, though, is getting access to my .dsl library, or any other files from my NTFS hd partition. I tried making a small disk image with dd under Cygwin containing my .dsls, but DSL-Embedded hung on boot when I tried to mount it as hdb from my dsl-windows.bat file. Ive found mention of using Samba to share directories in the qemu docs, but Ive never used Samba before, and I cant seem to get embedded to detect the smb share.

ANy ideas on how to easily access the info on my hard drive?

there is a harddisk image called harddisk is 60Mb in the dsl-windows.bat you see -hda harddisk
you can use that to store dl'd *.dsl.
no need to make one or alter bat file
i did so for xchat.tar.gz

You may also use WINISO to add MyDSL apps directly to the iso
Well up to 100Megs on the unregistered version

Is there a way to make that file larger (instead of 60 megs maybe a Gig or two), or to refer to other volumes on an external HD?

Along the same lines, how would I setup the reference to use the DL'd DSL automagically when I reboot?

Thanks,
Ewan

1.  Yes you have to create a new file...I will shortly make a "development"  package or a walkthru on where to get the program to make the file, You cant refer to other volumes on other drives...and since you are using the -cdrom function you dont cant use multiple harddrives (-hda <name> -hdb <name>) I already tried! (P.S. I had a 512Meg "harddrive" install of dsl-embedded, but I deleted it, I will soon have a writeup for you to make your own)

2.  Just copy the newly downloaded dsl-0.8.4.iso from the other directory, and rename it over the dsl.iso in the dsl-embedded dir and you are done.
