Why on earth would we want to make a crippled version of qemu?
AFAIK "Creating" a VMware virtual machine is just making a config file.
qemu doesn't have config files, so your question makes no sense.
Well, I was not thinking or suggesting of a crippled qemu version. I
asked the question because there are some software
appliances which are pre-built and pre-configured apps that are built on
a LAMP stack and packaged as a single image
type file. This image file can be downloaded and run on a product
similar to VMware Player. This is used for quick demo
purposes of an application with out the need to have a full virtual
machine.
What exactly do you mean / what is the actual "use case" for your idea?
Maybe you mean something like this:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb-qemu.html
Btw. regarding your earlier question about a Qemu GUI similar to VMware:
AFAIK at least two people have posted GUI patches for Qemu (look in the
mailing list archive); so far there has been little response to that,
and I suppose that these patches "just" need testing and some feedback
(as they seem to be pretty intrusive, with changing the video output and
the input handling stuff).
Regards,
Oliver
