Top talk Wesley.
Your presentation has enticed me to try it myself.
Here, here.
Yes, thanks Wesley.
After piquing my attantion with the posts prior to the talk I downloaded some
relevant info off the web and tried on the night installing the
relevant .rpms from the QEMU website and following the Novell:Cool Solutions
website 'How To install on SuSE 9.2'...but ran into SDL dependency conflicts
when installing via YaST.
I noted that the SDL Development toolkit for the latest .7 QEMU release was
for i386 architecture as opposed to the older SuSE 9.2 installed i586 SDL
toolkit. So I stopped.
I then looked and found QEMU .6 already came on my SuSE 9.2 distro (duuh)..so
I installed that. As yet I haven't tried loading my Win95 as I am still not
sufficiently confident with command line and just how relevant the Gentoo
instructions given by Robert / Nick are to my SuSE....but I intend to
continue on eventually.
Cheers
Ralph
After seeing how Ralph got on, I promised to check for an Ubuntu
package. So quoted from Synaptic:
fast processor emulator
QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator: currently the package supports
arm, powerpc, sparc and x86 emulation. By using dynamic translation
it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host
CPUs. QEMU has two operating modes:
* User mode emulation: QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for
one CPU on another CPU.
* Full system emulation: QEMU emulates a full system, including a
processor and various peripherials. It enables easier testing and
debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual
hosting of several virtual PC on a single server.
As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and
easy to use.
- It draws in bochsbios, sharutils & vgabios too.
Cheers all,
