QEMU can run of real file systems just fine - just point it to a device file instead of disk image. Of course, you should not expect it to run an OS that was not installed trough QEMU itself. By the way, QEMU is an emulator, not virtualizer. The OS inside QEMU is almost totally isolated from your real hardware. > A vritualizer that runs the actual hardware, playing traffic cop between the > real session and the virtual sessions??

QEMU can run any OS, Xen cannot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
