Other Help Topics :: How to mount my usb disk? How to update fluxbox?

You already have a safe space.

It's your existing USB drive partition.

This partition can be read or written to by MSWindows.

You can also access it from dsl-embedded by enabling a Windows network file share on the USB drive letter (E:\ for me).

Then you can either use smbclient to connect to the Windows share from inside DSL-embedded, or you can use the samba.dsl extension and actually mount it as a network drive in Linux.

Search the forums for more help. Specifically, search keyword "samba* AND embedded", search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER.

Good Luck.

Hmmm... that's kinda clever. Remount the drive from windows to get at it that way.

Still, that's not what I really want... but maybe I'm retarded having this desire, so tell me if this makes no sense. I've got one of them 512 meg keychain drives... which is more than enough space to split into 2 separate partitions, if necessary. I'd like to put embedded/bootable dsl on one partition, but still have another partition open to both windows and dsl simultaneously.

I'll give it a shot... letcha know how it goes... and thanks, by the way. This is an interesting little project... and it seems like there's a lot of potential in it.

You will be able to share files between your native DSL install and your Windows install.

However, you won't be able to get at your 2nd partition while running DSL embedded because your Virtual PC inside Qemu doesn't have any USB ports and is therefore not connected to your USB drive.

I still can't get the fluxbox-0.9.11 to works. I'm installing the dsl on my hdd and can anyone please kindly give me the complete instruction to update it to fluxbox-0.9.11? I'm going to give it a fresh copy since it is quite fast to install.

Ahhh... very interesting. It's funny to think about -- the virtual machine, from which the os is running, can't go back and recognize the media on which it's being run.

I guess Qemu is limited in ways that I hadn't realized... still, it's a pretty neat approach.

Thanks again.
