Personally I found Qemu astonishingly easy to use, and simply not needing a lot of documentation to get an OS installed from CD into it. A couple of hours after installing Qemu, having never used it before, I had a working virtual machine running CentOS, installed from a set of virtual CDs. An hour later, kqemu (the accelerator) was installed and working. I was most impressed by how easy it was and how little I had to tweak. But then I wasn't trying to run Windows inside it. Is Windows harder to install in it than some random Linux distro? -- Jamie _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
