I've noticed a few problems with the linux embedded implementation.

1. The zip file creates KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX while the install script refers to knoppix/knoppix. I just rename to lower case.

2. the install script and qemu/qemu must be made executable

3. Xinerama and mouse are incompatible

4. The (proprietary but free) qemu accelerator makes a huge difference.
   A. You have to get the qemu sources
   B. You have to get the accelerator (kqemu) and untar as a subdir of the qemu source
   C. ./configure and make install
   D. probably should add the kemu install script to the DSL startup script (it starts the kernel module and makes sure the character device is created).

You are spot on right. If you unzip in windows everthing is executeable, but within Linux not so. Anyway, got it fixed in time for 1.3. Thanks for sharing.
Now, I got to update the change log...

Time for an update:

DSL 1.4
1. File names and permissions fixed.
2. Xinerama still broken unless you do the following:

export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

So my dsl-linux.sh looks like:
Code Sample
export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
qemu/qemu -L -enable-audio -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu frugal quiet"


The reference is:Qemu-devel :;):
