John really should talk to these guys, they really can help out on the project. Besides, we get TONS more feedback than our current community (no offense) if we get it from a company that relies on DSL. The only things that will come out of this are: - more publicity - more ideas for DSL - more ideas for MyDSL files ** More info about USB booting issuesFound em... Screenshots!!
Hehe...I got it now..after John and ke4nt1 get a chance to check it out!
Brian AwPhuchTried playing around with this product on a P4 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB machine and it is STILL slow although not completely unusable.
A couple learnings:
(1) The emulator window does not fit inside a MSWindows 1024x768 desktop. You should boot up the DSL part with "dsl vga=789 xsetup" and then choose 800x600 resolution.
(2) The arrow keys don't seem to work correctly.
(3) I lose all keyboard inputs when I exit X-Windows back to console.
(4) The scroll-wheel mouse function is not emulated.
(5) You can get sound working by typing:
sudo modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5
inside an xterm.How the hell can it be secure if it's running on top of a windows box ?
I realize that all traffic inside the emulator is encrypted, but the hardware is OUTSIDE the emulator under WINDOWS control...
It's running on top of the same winsock, tcp/ip, and network backbone as M$, and alongside all the usual exploited softwarez by M$...
Am I missing something here ?
Slower performance, less security, 10X more resources..
......and you want me to pay? $$$$$$$$ ........???
Please explain to me the advantages of running DSL in windows? What can I do with this emulator that I can't do in a liveCD/poorman's install ?
Am I missing something here ?
