I'm new here and exploring options for a product I'm tasked to build.
I need to create a virtual machine appliance (guest: linux, host: win
xp/vista/7). I must minimize the install process as much as possible.
Installing Qemu + appliance VM as two separate install processes is too
much for the end user. I need to have no host reboots and the end user
would be incapability of answering questions about their networking.
The only thing I can assume is the windows host has a working connect to
the Internet. The guest vm does not need to communicate with the host.
The vm simply needs Internet access. Which networking options should I
be looking into in this case? The docs @
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking don't tell me enough to
know which road to go down.
I would ideally like a single EXE, "zero-install" solution. Also
acceptable is unpacking a zip into a directory and having the entire
solution self contained.
Any advice as I go down this road? Is there an example of an appliance
doing something similar I can study?
thanks, Jon
