For those insterested in trying with (free software) qemu, the
following commands worked for me (Debian sarge):

$ wget -c http://alfredo.axiom-developer.org/doyen/doyen-42206.iso
$ qemu -user-net -m 256 -cdrom doyen-42206.iso -boot d

I take the opportunity to point at new Debian based live-CD mastering
scripts: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive
