Re: How can I emulate Debian for PowerPC on Intel processor?
Alright! Thank you for your help!

Re: How can I emulate Debian for PowerPC on Intel processor?
Thank you for your response! I got two Unix OS: Debian for PPC and AIX IBM for PPC. My computer CPU is a Intel with Host OS Windows XP. So, I don't know how to emulate this CPU to run these OS. I'm new on PPC precesssor. Thank you in advance!

Since you're running Windows XP, try Qemu Manager: http://www.davereyn.co.uk/download.htm It's easy to install and includes a gui to setup virtual machines. After that you can boot from an iso image for the architecture of your choice. -- Burton Samograd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
