I tried installing openSUSELinux 10.3 because I had a DVD laying around. I used a 150GB raw image created using qemu-img. I did not use kqemu. I started qemu with this command line: qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/acd0 -hda linux.img -localtime -m 1G Note I have an AMD64 X2 with 4GB of RAM installed running 8-current. It got up to the point where it actually started the install and then croaked with SIGSEGV, I think it was. The error message flashed by rather quickly. That means that I was able to partition the disks and specify some non-standard packages. It managed to create and format the disk partitions and figure out from the DVD which packages to install. Not too bad, I suppose. --- Gary JennejohnReceived on Mon Feb 23 2009 - 13:47:26 UTC
