I now try with kvm support about 10 times faster and half the CPU load ...

I hit <continue> and choose in the menu: "Execute a shell". Command df reveils that the filesystem "/target" on /dev/sda1 is completely full. One should mention in the wiki that Desktops which fit not on CD compressed will not fit on 2 GB disk unpacked.

My experience with qemu is mainly about headless servers with login via SSH for software development. So the question whether it performs well with graphics will have to wait until you succeeded to install it. (If somebody has an example of a VirtioSCSI setup for a DVD burner, please show.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
