Sorry, Darren and Liming: I have one more question about this. Liming, correct me if I am wrong, but you mentioned that the only files that can be run on the qemu emulator are ext2 and ext3. But Darren's answer seems to suggest that you can also run hddimg and iso files in the qemu emulator.
Is this correct, or am I getting totally confused? Thanks!!
