I've noticed a strange problem with tclkit 8.4.6 under QEMU.
I've got a Kanguru Zipper 4GB USB hard drive
(http://www.kanguru.com/zipperhd.html) that I've put a 2gb ext2 disk
image onto. Using QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/), I
booted up an .iso image of Damn Small Linux (dsl083) and then
installed it onto the ext2 disk image file. From any Windows
machine, I can then launch into DSL, running in the QEMU emulator
window. I've installed a bunch of apps, including Firefox and Open
Office, with no problem. They all seem to work fine, even though the
execution is slow due to the emulation overhead.
OK, so far everything's working great. I've got this really cool
little Linux machine I can carry around in my pocket. I've even set up
autorun.inf to automatically launch the whole thing whenever the drive
is plugged into a usb port. Very cool. One small weirdness is that
gzip errors out whenever I try to gunzip something, though.
My main problem is that, even though both tclkit and dqkit run, and
load up Tk without a hitch, neither of them can run Starkits. They
can't seem to find main.tcl. This happens with all Starkits, even the
most simple ones.
Any idea what might be wrong? I'm guessing there must be something
about the QEMU emulation that interferes with the decompression that
must occur with both gzip and Tclkit's vfs code.
