Package: qemu-system-x86 Version: 1:5.2+dfsg-3~bpo10+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
According to the man page for qemu (qemu-system-x86_64) it should be possible to use a URL to point to a read only ISO image, with an example given to boot from a remote Fedora 20 live ISO image. eg qemu-system-x86_64 --drive media=cdrom,file=http://<link to iso>,readonly Any attempt to do this with the qemu binaries distributed in Debian gives the error: Unknown driver 'http' or Unknown driver 'https' I suspect this may be because the Debian binaries are compiled without the --enable-curl flag, as I'm not seeing libcurl4 in the list of dependencies. Is this deliberate?
