create another drive on damn small linux 3 embedded

Backup all your files before proceeding. This tutorial have no warranties whatsoever.

Wondering where in the hell youre going to save all your work when using dsl-3.0.1-embedded? Well, there is a hack by roberts on the said subject.

Here is what I have learned from it.

Conventions:

D:\ – where dsl-3.0.1-embedded files are unzipped
D:\dsl-3.0.1-embedded - full path of the installation

Navigate through the qemu directory where you’ll see a harddisk file <filename: harddisk> :) copy that to what ever
filename you crave for. In my case that’s hdd no file extensions(you can opt to have one)

Edit dsl-windows.bat. See below to check what I have changed.

Original dsl-windows.bat:

REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -no-kqemu -m 128 -soundhw sb16 -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append “qemu sb=0×220,5,1,5 frugal quiet modules=hdb noscsi nofirewire atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce”

CLS
EXIT

Modified dsl-windows.bat:

REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -no-kqemu -m 128 -soundhw sb16 -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -hdd qemu/hdd -append “qemu sb=0×220,5,1,5 frugal quiet modules=hdb mydsl=hdd noscsi nofirewire atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce”

CLS
EXIT

***note: START is only one line.
-hdd qemu/hdd <– added to add the newly created hard disk(pseudo)
mydsl=hdd <– add this when you have downloaded mydsl extensions and plans to auto install them on startup.

where do you find the desktop links and icons in damn small linux?

Filed under: damn small linux — rudyegenias @ 5:51 am

answer: /KNOPPIX/etc/skel/.xtdesktop or /etc/skel/.xtdesktop

I have deleted some of the desktop icons when I have deleted the applications associated with it. My own way of trimming down damn-small-linux-3.0.1-embedded ;) good luck to you all.

Happy tinkering.
