Jza Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I want to start mandrake on m work computer which unfortunately use the crappy Windows XP Home. So I download Qemu, and the Mandrake img file for Qemu. However I haven't been able to get it to boot. I wonder if anyone has done this and if they can tell me how to go about it.

scarecrow Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 No, not with QEmu. It doesn't even work with VMWare 4.5.2, but version 5.0 does the trick instead. Most Linux versions which use kernel 2.4.X work fine with QEmu, but this is not the case with the less documented 2.6.X kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows was other story thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
