Chances are, that I did. Downloaded the i386-cd45.iso, and followed the 'tap mode' path: ifconfig tun0 link0 ifconfig bridge0 create brconfig bridge0 add tun0 add bge0 up All went through, and I have now: tun0: flags=9903<UP,BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,LINK0,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:bd:f5:ab:6c:01 priority: 0 groups: tun inet6 fe80::2bd:f5ff:feab:6c01%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 bridge0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500 priority: 0 groups: bridge Next, going back to Quick Start, I type qemu -m 32 -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img \ -cdrom cd45.iso -boot d which actually, does boot! and gets me into the installer, all hunky dory. Only when downloading of the packages is supposed to start, once I have entered IP-address and confirmed the directory, everything segfaults. Always. I guess something networking-wise is still not okay. Can someone help me to point out the mistake here? Uwe
