A Free Operating System Thats Under 50MB In Size?!?! - DSL

[Amberlodge1]

I can't keep up with your mouse

[PkKingX11]

Windows v0.99 ?

[GameMaster337]

@PkKingX11 This is Linux, not Windows..

[zingzangzap]

nevermind im set

[zingzangzap]

duncan help my dsl wont boot virtualbox

[iLinkStudio]

Can it handle exe?

[vapourmile]

It's kind of pointless since the size of the OS is basically equal to the level of complexity the developer puts into it. I once wrote a 'Sprite OS' for the PC which was about two-hundred bytes. I think this kind of video is fuelled by confusion over what an Operating System actually does.

[didogazeto]

Dump Smelly Linux,btw nice OS,and the USB version wants only 64 MB

[allgovsarecriminal]

for recovery i recommend the last backup you made instead of dsl.

you DO backups, right?

[AndyK967]

USE MSDOS! it´s under 1MB!!

[extermedog]

a laptop with no oparating system can install this??? then upgrade it to xp?

[koolmonster7]

8MB RAM?!

You'd just about get DOS working on it! And there they go, running a full Linux on it!

Ok, now i'm stuck. What would you put on a 1GB pen drive? Ubuntu 10.10 or DSL?

[Coi1221]

@koolmonster7 Well you could even run Windows 95 on 8 MB RAM. DOS just needs a few kb.

[MixShadowlight]

@koolmonster7 You would rather put in DSL than Ubuntu 10.10 because Ubuntu 10.10 requires 600+mb of space in if you put it in your 1gb pendrive, you don't have muchspace to install addons for linux

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

ubuntu minimal + openbox/rox. easy. or any kernel of your choice, such as arch + openbox. smaller than dsl.

[killme96]

that os is licid puppys much better

[paulcantiller]

so it's slow?

[chicostacos4]

Eww, Damn Small Linux.

Puppy is so much better.

[canaan1967]

What is the purpose of having virtual box and DamnsmallLinux???????? OVerkill?

[didogazeto]

i CAN'T download it!

[MagneticMaster]

look into my eyes

[thecomputerguy58]

this lagged on my usb drive.

[Rubentje2]

the error is probably an error that tells you that the cpu is not supported couse

it is a virtual non-supported cpu

[origingiratina]

Damn Small Linux? rofl

[Anim4000]

@origingiratina

ya lol

look like download-able by xDSL modem :D

[Spawn7756]

slitaz is even smaller its only 30mb

[Damatelon]

@Spawn7756

TinyCore has a Gui and is just 10 MB

Microcore just 6 Mb

[21jic]

bro, i have a problem,

i cnt see an autoplay window on my vista whenver i put a usb to my computr, that autoplay window wont appear, what im going to do?

[patheinecke]

dose this support linksys model# WUSB100?

[ikemkrueger]

Agreed. :)

[nelizmastr]

why do you have a Windows XP VM when ur already running XP... useless

[HaloHamstur]

What if you want to test programs and shit not useless

[Robloxian182]

i have xp media center as a vhd.(i have xp pro sp3)the install disc came from my now trashed emachines.(The crappy one)

[bostjanjaksa]

it isnt useless if your using your parents computer beg them to buy you a 16GB usb drive and you have your own computer =3

[nelizmastr]

not all computers can actually boot from USB, like my Acer computer from 2006.

[jaimefortega]

You can download Plop boot manager to boot from an USB drive!!!

You just need to burn the plpbt.iso file into a cd or dvd, reboot your computer and you'll be able to boot from an USB drive ;)

[gamer1330]

could you use this for an actual operating system?

[gamer1330]

you know like you would use windowa xp or something

[hiervince]

yes you can

[soulconsoulja]

I some how made my widnows xp be like widnows xp professional even though I have media center edition O_o

[catali115]

nu am intels nimic te misti prea repede cu mousul

[BlaBlaBlaZ2]

Ultralite VOS is not an real os, its an virtual one. It's size is only between 20 mb and 50 mb:) Try that if you have xp/vista/seven.

[somebodydc691n]

Slitaz is even smaller than DSL.

[ikemkrueger]

Yepp. And looks better. :)

[NewTutorials]

wow nice

[dillontubeandlive]

omg you are a genius

[010UnderCover010]

i tried out linux. i found it to be more responsive than windows xp. :) i also found out that it comes with firefox when i tried it out on my first linux boot.

[yesjenisback]

omg thanks i was gona go for xp this is way better !

[dirtboy03]

Ok, so can i put this on a CD and install it to a custom build?

[Ozzy0sbourne]

that operating system is good if you accidently wiped your hard drive. @_@

[CallumRoyCarmicheal]

@Ozzy0sbourne LOL

[wasitrealy]

Ok im downloading and opening up my sun xVM virtual box!

[icyshadow0]

damn it LOL

[lonelyadnan]

i cant find where to download

[meg33y]

Did you say that you can run a simple file in the embedded version and it will install it to usb completely? Because I am trying to figure out how to burn an iso file to usb as I have a computer without a hard drive I want to get working.

[guily6669]

Yeah i have it installed in my xbox, it's not that bad at all, with it i can download things directly to my xbox using bittorrent...

[joeythegeek1942]

There's also windows 3.1, which is under 7 megs. I still use it on one of my laptops. And also, does DSL let you install it to the hard drive?

[inexxxorable]

The OS is well over 50megs.

It is compressed using SquashFS when stored as an image file. Once it boots, it decompressed to a much larger size in memory.

[jckskeltonHACK]

so if i can find this in like a 5mb size i can put on a floppy drive right?

[CariagaXIII]

lol

[maxteamgraves]

cool xD

[fremlinskent]

Make the flipping screen bigger! Panning from left to right then back again then up then down and back again is a pain in the bum to watch.

[gggggfdsdsdf3562]

is it free

[howlettman]

hey can someone help me i got a Dell Latitude Cpx Laptop and now when it boots it says "Cannot Recognise Divice In Modual Bay" or somthing and i cant boot. help i just spent 60$ on a new battery!!!

[pckidtuts]

what iso program do you use?

[Abernathythedull]

DSL is great.

I think it's the best choice for older PCs. I have it running on a 433MHz Celeron with 64MB of RAM and a 4GB hard drive. It's fast and snappy.

Windows 95 was available on 13 DMF formatted 3.5 inch floppy disks. That's about 21MB. So DSL is bigger than base Win95. But Win95 ceased being supported and updated around the year 2000. DSL continues to be supported and updated. (Not to mention Linux is vastly superior to the Win9x OS's.)

[male222]

ohh man i like your all vedios keep it up

[tomashcu60]

yup kool i did a vid on it aswell!

[sonoflemus]

This is cool, I subscribed immediately! Keep up the cool stuff!! :D

[tomashcu60]

i have a vid 2

[secret00agent00man]

this is interesting... btw can someone help me with using microsoft IIS? i would like to share my iso files with the world. (got nt4, 2003, xp, vista, 2000, me, 98, 95 and alot of other crap.) help! please :)

[secret00agent00man]

so i built a site within IIS on server 2003 web edition, but cant go global with it. in other words it is not externally accesible. i need more help...

[calrogman]

Have you registered a domain name with your servers IP.

[12341515176]

it worked but cant get iternet working help please

thanks

12341515176

[deeboiz]

Thanks SO much. subscribed

[chrisaa94]

yeah i have this on my pen drive and i dont use a virtual machine but i am still kinda confused..i cannot figure out to "save" what i have done. "save" as in the configuration settings i have made when i boot it up or things like that.

[topsyandpip56]

You can make the screen recorder follow the virtual machine by clicking your mouse where the guest Operating system is. Or of course mouse integration!

[Dojan5]

WHY use DSL? Downsides: 50MB ISO file UGLY! Very few programs, none of which are really, user friendly There is an alternative, called SliTaz ISO on 25MB Looks WAY better than DSL, like Ubuntu Clearlooks MORE programs, also more commonly known, Abiword instead of Beaver etc. A own repository Faster Desktop effects And much more. Try it out, post a video on it too ;)

[fuckwhoeverbannedme]

comment on his channel not here

[pippin418]

i've been using SliTaz and it's not very customizable from what i've seen. They're "claimed" Firefox... Den Echo or something. So I don't really like it.

[VistaGeek121]

How do i install it?

[Lithemist]

noob

[lilmetalhead69]

does VirtualBox work with windows xp?

[mobilephone2003]

thats what i use

[lilmetalhead69]

ok well can you make a video of how to set it up like what site and how to download for xp?

[walkinpp]

yes, he is using it!

[MonsterNRGEE]

@lilmetalhead69 it works on almost any OS.  Windows, Mac, Linux (KDE and Gnome)

[JaxDragon1]

Does the embedded run full-screen or windowed? I am interested in this because I want to try developing on linux :)

[mag2ster]

You can go to full-screen by pressing ctl-alt-F.

[benxhshkup]

the embedded runs windowed however you can change that with crtl+alt+f at least for me it works however don't use it that way better get a virtual machine :)

[Undertaker8503]

Duncan, I got this on my Pen Drive but when I try and use it it keeps telling me to hit Ctrl + Alt but it won't even let me try it =/

[ramarlv200]

I think this would be useful for Eee PC users.

[mobilephone2003]

I'll be posting some videos for EEEPC users soon as I will be one next week

[ramarlv200]

Nice! Wouldn't you want to wait a few months for Atom to launch though?

[mobilephone2003]

laptops going to be bigger, so no.

[benxhshkup]

And Making the embedded version faster you only need to change the .BAT in the string -m to like 512 and you have 512 mb memory ;)

[mobilephone2003]

thanks for the tip :-)

[benxhshkup]

There is Puppy Linux its 80-100 mb and has a better x windows manager no offence for fluxbox but i like it more :)

[Daznis6666]

I think maybe thats damn small linux, but im not shure

[mobilephone2003]

lol.....so which Linux am I talkin about?

[japanese90]

didnt you say that there was a 5mb linux? if so what is the name of it?

[mobilephone2003]

I can't remember but I remember reading it somewhere

[japanese90]

aw ok well thanks for maing this video i think im going 2 try upting it in my old computer! lol realy old!
