I'm installing Windows 2000 Professional inside Qemu for some experiments. I don't know if it fulfils your USB requirement, but it's free and I hear it runs on FreeBSD pretty well. Hope this helps, Adam J Richardson I've had a few rounds with Qemu on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, and Windows, and each time when I try and get stuff setup, it breaks unfortunately (all of the above except Mac) or is too slow to be usable (Mac, because of my iBook's processor speed _). Xen isn't half bad though because it's cross architecture, similar to Qemu, but with more native emulating speeds. Unfortunately VMWare is only available for x86 CPUs and friends though, and although someone offered a bounty for proper Linux emulation of it on FreeBSD, it's probably going to be a while before it's available (at least until the linuxalator (sp?) gets fixed a bit more..). Those are my 2 cents :). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have tried Qemu half year ago on linux and it almost got frozen when I switched Garmin on (the drivers were installed before). May be I give it a try on FreeBSD. -- Milan Knížek http://milan-knizek.net/ e-mail knizek {na} volny {v} cz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
