HD Install :: Running under Windowz

Ok - - I saw a mention of being able to run DSL WITHIN Windowz...

How does one do that?
LOL

Not only that... is it possible to install this

Install a Wiki into the DSL - then redo it as an ISO or burn THAT setup to other CD's?!

As I was looking for a system to run a WIKI based option from a CD, seeing this as the best option to have a small linux distro run from CD......

Well, build up the Wiki database and then re-create the ISO.

Does that make sense?! Anyone know how I could go about it?!

You can run the embeded dsl from within windoz but there are limitations. If you are running XP then you won't be able to write to the hard drive (unless you have a partition that is not ntfs). If you do have a partition to wirte to then your best bet would be to run the livecd and place your add ons on the hard drive. You could then use the make mydsl cd remaseter menu option to make your own cd.

Ahhh cool.....

I kept a few gig un-partioned for a linux install on occasion - guess I'll do that then...

It's possbile to run DSL within Windows using QEMU. You need a fast machine though. Kopsis has a description of using this method to run Sharp Zaurus dev tools within Windows at:
