myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: How to use DSL files with DSL Embedded?

@ed_davis2
I open a terminal and use "sudo emelfm" (corrected spelling) to open a file browser with root privaleges, you should then be able to create directories or copy files to the hdb drive (mount it first)
It shouldn't matter were these are being copied from

@neon
To get the backup to work from hdb (instead of another drive) you can add "restore=hdb" to the .bat or .sh file (or "restore=harddisk" to the syslinux.cfg for bios boot from usb)

here is my dsl.bat (I rename them)

Code Sample

REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF
START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,1 frugal quiet mydsl=hdb restore=hdb"
CLS
EXIT

and my dsl.sh

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
qemu/qemu -L qemu/ -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda knoppix/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu frugal quiet mydsl=hdb restore=hdb"

and first section of my syslinux.cfg

Code Sample

DEFAULT linux24
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=794 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic qemu quiet mydsl=harddisk restore=harddisk BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix frugal

These load the backup and extinsions from hdb in all boot possibilities

Just a quick question!

How do I go about changing the size of the virtual hd in DSL-embedded? Greatful for any answer.

That has Roberts explaining how to make one any size you need, with copying over your backup.tar.gz as well.

Ooops - that's what you get for not checking your posts!

Thanks Caspar_s!

Unfortunately I can't find the reference you are referring to. I guess I need the full url.

Have fun,
