Well, i tried loading a pre-existing vmdk from Windows Vmware Wkstation 4.5 and it just didnt work (it'd stall). I have to admit I couldn't spend much more time on it so I moved on. > But if your issue is speed, have you looked at the kqemu-kmod > port?

YMMV, but it seems to allow QEMU to run Windows guests at about > the same speed as VMWare. http://qemu.org/qemu-accel.html for details. Definitely using kqemu-kmod. I was developing with eclipse under win32 and it was rather painful... interestingly enough, the clock inside the vm was ticking like crazy (4 or so times as fast as normal ) - i ended up syncwing via ntp every 90 seconds :D. It could well be a fault in my qemu config (pretty vanilla one ) .... but for what I need(ed) it, it does its job. _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome Law of Conservation of Perversity: we can't make something simpler without making something else more complex I speak for myself, not my employer.
