Re: Emulating 8.2 images on QEMU for windows
Wade, The installation works OK, however, the run.bat script needs to cd to the install directory when Run as Administrator... is used to start it; I'm not sure why UAC starts batch scripts differently as Admin, but here's the line I added to my copy of start-olpc.cmd to fix the problem: cd %~dp0 ... rest of script... (That syntax means to take the (d)irectory and (p)ath from parameter %0. ) Cheers, Mark From: Wade Brainerd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ton van Overbeek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Mwarren [EMAIL PROTECTED]; devel@lists.laptop.org Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 2:02:04 PM Subject: Re: Emulating 8.2 images on QEMU for windows Oh, and Ton - if you're interested in hacking on QEMU some more, I would love to see a build with some extra command line parameters: --start-kqemuExecutes 'net start kqemu' automatically if the service exists. --window-title= Changes the title of the window from QEMU to whatever, say 'OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0'.

Does the kqemu service use significant resources? --window-title= Changes the title of the window from QEMU to whatever, say 'OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0'. You can already do this today. Use the -name option on qemu: -name OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0 The qemu window will then have QEMU (OLPC Software Environment 8.2.0) as title.
