A full install probably needs much more than that, but I don't know exactly. For sure you can manually install a much smaller amount, but I'm not sure how customizable the "old" installer is. (Jim Hall's already been rewriting it lately.) > Another error I have come across is if I try to format the drive it fails > saying something like drive sectors not 1, 4 , 6, 16, 32 etc but 0.0 kb > > I don't know the exact error it returns with result 4. And I don't know if > these are related Blech, sounds like a stinkin' QEMU bug, not much we can do about that. :-/ What QEMU version are you testing? Hopefully latest (0.13.0, apparently) works better, but newer ones sadly don't support fat:/ (which was quite convenient in oldie-but-goodie 0.9.0). Oh well, just try VirtualBox or BOCHS if it doesn't work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
