The DSL embedded package is supposed to run on either a MSWindows or Linux OS.

It is not supposed to run under Mac OS.

HOWEVER,

You can manually create a "DSL Embedded" for a Mac by going to the Qemu web site (use Google) and acquiring the Qemu version for the Macintosh.

Make sure that you get the version that runs a virtual IBM PC inside a real Mac computer, and NOT the version that runs a virtual MAC inside an IBM computer.

Then use the existing DSL embedded configuration setup and .iso file and you should be able to create a "DSL embedded" for a Mac.

Good Luck.

I already downloaded tha qemu version for MAC OsX, to see if I could use a dsl .iso file. Still, I seem to remember (i did it a couple of day ago) the dialog box requires a .img file, not a .iso file..
I don't know how to create a .img out of a .iso.
is it possibile? (I suppose it is)
is there any tutorial on the net you would suggest?
thanks

that filename.img can be filename.iso...it doesnt have to be an image file persay

I dont have a mac to try to test this on but the prinicple is sound for sure!

Here is the boot command line for DSL-embedded (Windows host):

START qemu.exe -L . -m 128 -hda harddisk -cdrom dsl.iso -boot d -enable-audio -user-net -localtime

As you can see, DSL is using the "virtual CDROM" device to load up the iso file and not the "virtual hard drive" that is used for the *.img file.

so try the "-cdrom dsl.iso"  command and see what happens.
