How should I go about >it. Take a look at the Qemu docs at <http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html>. I got the example script from linux-test-*.tar.gz; it's probably in the current linux image. The user-mode networking is /much/ easier to get working, but won't support any incoming connections (ssh, web server, etc). I've since written my own scripts to set up qemu and networking using sudo; if you need them I can bundle them up. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
