I discouvered QEMU today and I think it is an amazing program. Just to be sure and on the safe site: Will the command "qemu -hda win98se.img -boot d -user-net" do as I think it will do: .. boot from my cdrom device so I can install windows from it to the win98se.img file? Needless to sy I created the img file with "qemu-img create -f qcow win98se.img 10G" On oszoo.org they say you can even create a compressed clone of the image file by giving this cmd: "qemu-img convert -f qcow -c win98se.img -O qcow image_compressed.img" but this does not work form me. The msg is that compression is not supproted for this format. Is this right? Or do I do something wrong? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja
