Re: virtual machine software
OK, it's working now. Slowly, but working (I'm guessing the lackluster performance is due to having it use 768MB memory, when the host only has 1GB, easy enough to fix, there are several solutions). -Jim Stapleton On Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 11:11 AM, Bruce Cran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jim Stapleton wrote: Sorry, QEmu crashes when I try to boot the CD.
