The last time I used qemu a few years ago, I ended up running wine from the guest as an X client, using the host's display. The display was native, and faster than the emulation. I also didn't have to build the full-blown X-server on the guest. Here are my latest scripts/commands 1) The install startup script #!/bin/bash sudo /usr/bin/qemu-kvm \ -vga vmware \ -vnc :2 \ -redir tcp:60022::22 \ -cpu qemu32 \ -m 3072 \ -hda sda.raw -hdb sdb.raw -cdrom installx86.iso -boot d 2) Launching vncviewer vncviewer localhost:2 3) ssh from the guest to the host ssh root@localhost 4) ssh from the host to the guest ssh -p 60022 root@localhost -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
