Just thought I'd give embedded a try at work, however:
*downloaded, created c:\dsl-embedded-0.8.4, and unzipped all into it
*ran the dsl-windows.bat
*a console window popped up, titled c:\dsl-embedded-0.8.4\qemu.exe
*a larger window popped up titled QEMU, with what appears to be a distorted boot prompt screen

After it progresses past the boot prompt screen, the QEMU window just stays black (gave it 5+mins).

If I click in it at all the window title changes to "QEMU - Press Ctrl-Shift to exit grab"

Also tried giving "dsl 2" and "dsl xvesa" at the boot prompt

Here's a screen dump of the boot prompt page.

I've so far only waited the 5 mins on the default boot, not "dsl xvesa" or "dsl 2"

The qemu.exe process is averaging 25% CPU usage constantly, but nothing appearing.

Never mind. I went and grabbed the latest qemu (0.6.1 with fix), and it now works - better anyway. There's now rough visuals, just squashed. Hopefully there'll be some res settings available within qemu

Did you try CTRL-SHIFT-F

to see if full-screen mode looks any better?

How is the new version of Qemu working?

Can you successfully install programs with the myDSL gui like Ace.dsl without network corruption?

Full screen mode just looks like smaller mode, but bigger  :p  (still squashed - here's a (fullscreen) screenshot. (image working now 20041122)

As I mentioned, new version of qemu at least gives visuals, even if it's squashed. Does stress all hell out of the ~1GHz processor - it's less responsive than it is actually installed on my 200MMX at home.

Haven't tried installing stuff - may do so next week, as it's end-Fri here.

I'm guessing it's maybe my Matrox twinhead vid card?

Hmm..

Did you try the framebuffer mode, boot command:

fb800x600 frugal

(not "dsl fb800x600 frugal")?
