[Qemu-devel] quick start KNOPPIX on QEMU/Windows

[Kuniyasu Suzaki]

Dear

We took VM image of KNOPPIX to boot quick on QEMU/win.
It can boot KNOPPIX in a few seconds!
Sometimes KNOPPIX-QEMU/win is frozen. :-)

The image is downloadable.

Usage:
Download knoppix_v3.4_20040517-20040820.iso and make a CD-ROM with the image.
    
ftp://ftp.dnsbalance.ring.gr.jp/archives/linux/knoppix/iso/knoppix_v3.4_20040517-20040820.iso

There is a batch file to start KNOPPIX on QEMU/Windows. Please click.
    \qemu-0.6.0-windows\qemu-knoppix.bat

On qemu console, please load VM image.
(qemu) loadvm c:\qemu-knoppix0820j\knoppix0820.vm

After that, KNOPPIX will appear with "wmaker" desktop and "xaos" which
is a fractal drawing application. The window size is 800x600.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request&Question:
1) Can I designate vm file from command line?
2) Is there any idea to prevent freeze? 
   A visual application seems to suppress. A reason to run "xaos" is to prevent 
freeze.
