Oh and if you didnt know, you can use qemu to run any live cd distro, just modify the qemu-win.bat file to use the .iso of any live cd and it should auto start it...plus you can modify the amount of "reserved" memory it takes by changing the -m number in MBytes option in the .bat file as well

If you want I can whip up a dsl-embedded development package...this will allow you to create a "harddrive" for dsl or other "LiveCD" distros to where you can mount it as a swap partition...this will make qemu alot faster/snappier

I would still think that you would not want a swapfile on a pendrive.

Because DSL is small all this fits nicely on a 128MB pendrive and no usb booting issues.

But of course you could add another emulated hardrive as swap if you have copied all of this into a windows folder.
I purposely did not include swap for the usb pendrive concerns.

And yes, you can run other liveCD distros, but then that would not be dsl-embedded.
If you want to do that then I would suggest that you join the qemu forums and post there.

Seems more people are interested in running Windows inside Linux based on the traffic there.

If you want to help DSL then posting what works and what doesn't work will be helpful.
