Wow, just got an idea... I'm a user of Slax (cd bootable version of slackware) and slax is based on modules. Basically, you want anything, you need a module. But, you can also install anything in a folder (--prefix=/a/folder/), compile and make a module out of it. In some cases, I've had to chroot that folder to mimic /usr/local and that fixed the worst cases. I'm sure I could come up with a qEmu module (or vmware module too) for Slax, and the module would just be the size of it's components (+lzm compression) and slax itself is about 200Mb hosted at the official site... I know saving Gigabytes of transfer doesn't save trees, but it saves longer internet bills which does! ;) Simon PS: I'm a total n00b to qEmu so if I do anything, don't expect anything soon. =) PPS: the slax modules can also be decompressed to root (/) and will be just like after a "make install", which is a great advantage for portability to other distros... _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
