Hi all,
I'm currently writing such a guide, trying to explain step by step the whole
thing, from compilation to guest OS installation.
As I'm a Windows user, this guide will focus on using Qemu on a Windows host.
Maybe someone can extend it to a Linux host.
This guide will be in French... but if

Hi!

Let's see an example: installation.
Qemu is a virtual machine program. So, that's a machine in the machine.
There is a computer, called "host", which runs an OS, called Host OS, and
Qemu (besides other programs).
Qemu is a simple program from the ho

Yes, but the doc doesn't, for example, explain how you are supposed to
put a bootable image in "file". This is addressed by the excellent

To create an empty Hard Drive image do:
qemu-img create
for example:
qemu-img create windows.img 2G
You can also use the preferred ("qcow") image format by doing:
qemu-img create -f qcow windows.img 2G
That gives you the ability to save snapshots, encrypt the image, etc.
Now we'll

Thank you, I did think of that, it didn't work. The documentation is not
particularly useful. In particular, it doesn't tell you how to actually
get an OS running under qemu, which, I'm sure, is the most typic

A person who is in your position (frustrated for lack of documentation)
is actually the most qualified person to write documentation. Feel free

Hello,
I write here because there doesn't seem to be a Bugzilla for qemu and
whoever is responsible for the qemu documentation must be here.
The documentation is quite worthless.
I'm sure you don't like hearing that, but consider that it doesn't
