[ale] Qemu-HOW-TO ?

[KingBahamut]

hehe, comin right up.

To boot QEMU off a bootable CD image (like a LiveCD for instance), I simply
entered the following at the command line:

qemu -boot d -cdrom path/to/distro.iso

assuming that distro.iso is the name of an ISO you have on your system
locally.

The below command will create an image file for a Qemu usable XP install
5gigs in size (for me nominal at best to use such a size).

qemu-img create image.img 5120M

Now that you have a virtual disk setup (with the .img file you just created)
, drop your XP installer into your cd drive and type:

qemu -boot d -hda path/to/image.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 256

The -m 256 is for memory allocation. 256 seemed proper enough to me but you
can increase it as your system resources allow.

all of this assumes , in ubuntu, youve installed Qemu, Vgabios, and Vnet
(which in Pauls case I did , so no biggie).
