Hi Friends,

I have downloaded the ISO image of DSL Linux and Microsoft virtual PC software. I have installed DSL Linux and login to DSL Linux through Microsoft virtual pc sofware. I couldn't able to find gcc. I have internet connection in my windows xp. But, i am not getting internet in DSL Linux. How can I install gcc compiler and related libraries in my DSL Linux? Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Regards,
Chandra.

hi,

have you used virtualization before? i am unfamiliar with "Microsoft virtual pc" software, but most virtualization sw's allow you to configure the specifics of the environment provided for the guest os. that is, you define a capsule in which the guest os (dsl in this case) lives. now to hand it the whole computer on a platter as a default would be weird.

in vmware server (free download) you are asked simple questions when a virtual machine is created. how much disk space, should it get its own ip on the network, etc. make sure that your virtual pc software is configured to allow it to connect to the network.

can you open a terminal in dsl and post the output of a couple commands?

ping -c 3 www.google.com

ifconfig

cat /etc/passwd (just kidding about this last one hehe)

try QEMU. It's pretty good.

As far as configuring the environment you give the guest OS, there are commandline switches for that...
