Can I play intense games with DSL?Forum: Multimedia Topic: Can I play intense games with DSL? started by: ChaosLord40k Posted by ChaosLord40k on May 20 2004,01:48
K, I just bought myself a copy of the wallet version of DSL. Its FREAKEN COOL! Now im thinking of trading up my Mandrake 10 and RedHat 9 for dsl, because of how much memory it consumes, now here are my questions, can I play games such as Quake3, and run games through Emulation. (via winex?) I also know that I need XFree86 to install my nVidia drivers, so how do I use the apt-get thing to get the nvidia drivers? And last question, is it worth using DSL to play games? NOTE: im using DSL version 0.6.3. THANX!!!

Thats gonna take alot of tweakage to do what you want to do with it...I dont think DSL has a valid gcc compiler system (even after doing a dpkg update) so building those things might not work. Does dsl support rpm function? Brian AwPhuch Posted by ripcrd6 on June 08 2004,20:11
How about after loading the gnu-utils.dsl package? Will he then have a compiler (gcc) and make? I have wanted to compile my wireless drivers under DSL, but you also have to have the exact kernel package sources loaded for the running kernel, to do that. So far I have just found a copy of Knoppix 3.1 and 3.2 that had the same kernel and gcc and make already avail. I compiled my module under knoppix and saved to a USB memstick, then tried to use the card under DSL. I don't think I have ever gotten this module to work under DSL though. It works great under Knoppix. I just have to use a wired NIC under DSL. I need to try this agian. What version of Knoppix has the same kernel as the one in DSL 0.7.1?
