I gave up on qemu a long time ago, and switched to Virtualbox for all my VM needs. Also, I've used Fedora as my primary OS for 7 or 8 years until just recently switching to Wheezy, and you'll need more than 512MB of RAM to install or run a contemporary Fedora release. If you have the RAM, I suggest allotting 2GB minimum to run GNOME and do anything useful. 4 would be better. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
