Buddies, This is a really complex tip. ;)
Kindly bear with me.Just follow the tip as a drone and you will be fine. Don' t think too much or you will have trouble especially if you are new to qemu. Qemu is in short a x86 emulator and it does a fantastic job of it. It is fast enough to use it for all purposes even without kernel kqemu acceleration module which was recently open sourced. This is what you need to to do to install Debian in a disk image of size 4GB. $qemu-img create debian-qemu.bin 4G $qemu -hda debian.qemu.bin -cdrom <path-to-debian-iso-image> Install Debian into the qemu file store and then boot from the file store like this. $ qemu -hda debian-qemu.bin It is quite amazing. Fabrice Bellarduku Oru Kovil kattanum. ;) He has made my life really simple. Another thing. I recently figured that qemu can be used for booting from physical USB or CDROM media like this. # qemu -cdrom /dev/cd0a or # qemu -usb -hda /dev/sd0c This is on OpenBSD. I am sure you have to give a different device filename in your OS and it will work too.
