What makes you think so? qemu CPU emulation is _really_ slow compared to native execution (even if q of qemu means quick, i.e. quicker than e.g. bochs). > > > Running the installed Hurd: > > > qemu -m 256 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user -hda hurd-install.qemu > > > > > > - Does qemu have a terminal where I can get a scrollbar, without it is > > > very difficult to catch all output. > > > > Yes, you can use the -curses option to use text mode. > > In gnome-terminal -curses did not work!

Not really surprising, as they'll be eaten by X11 or the window manager before being passed to qemu via the xterm tty. You can give a try to the vnc way that Arne mentioned in another mail. > An arch-hurd developer had patches to console-driver-xkb sent to > bug-hurd in August, > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-08/msg00012.html > Have they bee applied upstream?

One of the issues is that there's no real "upstream" repository for console-driver-xkb ATM, so that's the first thing to do. > > > - qemu-kvm is also available in addition to qemu.
