If you want nice guis and the like VMware is probably the way. If you are willing to run a script then it should be as easy as: sudo apt-get install kvm module-assistant kvm-source qemu sudo m-a auto-install kvm qemu-img -f qcow2 disk.img 10G kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d Future runs are just: kvm -hda disk.img This should setup user network which works most of the time :-) Cheers, Baruch ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
