Chapter 9 Virtual Operating System

Setting up Damn Small Linux on a Virtual PC.

DSL was pretty easy to setup.  But I first had to download and install Virtual PC.  Once this was setup, I had to create a Virtual Hard Disk for DSL.  This I set to 2 GB and I also set the RAM to 128 MB.  Once the Virtual PC was setup, I had to capture the DSL.iso image and then reset the Virtual PC.  On the next start-up DSL ran through its setup in less than 2 minutes.



It came with FireFox already installed, but finding other programs and getting them to run is one problem with Linux.
