Hello all, As promised, here is a tutorial I would recommend to get people started. It's short and sweet:
<------------------------- Tutorial: Full system emulation under Linux ------------------------------------------- Alright, you have qemu installed and now you want to run a client OS under qemu. Follow these steps: 1) You need a blank disk image. This is like adding a blank disk to the virtual computer that qemu creates. Use this command to create a 2Gb blank disk image: qemu-img create -f qcow c.img 2G The last argument is the size of the image (2G). For more information on creating a blank image, see <a href="#SEC15">3.6 Disk Images</a>. 2) When you install an OS on a real computer you normall boot an install CD. We'll do the same with the virtual computer. Put the CD (e.g. Windows install CD) on the CD drive. qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda c.img -m 256 -boot d This boots from the CD ROM (-boot d) using 256MB of RAM (-m 256) using c.img as /dev/hda (-hda c.img). Now you can install the client OS just as you would in a real computer. -------------------------> Cheers, Daniel. -- http://opendocumentfellowship.org "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man tries to adapt the world to himself.
