I've updated my DotPups for QEMU-Puppy and Puppy-Linux:

I've created a DotPup for QEMU. This is the original
installation, as meant by Fabrice Bellard. It's not directly
related to my own allinoneqemu.

Download it at:

http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html#dotpups

This package doesn't include the QEMU Accelerator Module, due
to the license.

I've updated the DotPup for QEMU. This is the original QEMU 0.9.0 installation, as meant by Fabrice Bellard. It's not directly related to my own allinoneqemu.

This package depends on SDL and doesn't include the QEMU Accelerator Module (KQEMU). Both packages (SDL and KQEMU) are available as separate DotPups.

See http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html#dotpups .

KQEMU is GPL'ed, since, uh, today!!!

I have quickly loaded your dotpups but can't activate the kqemu module. Qemu complains that cannot open /dev/kqemu. I created it with mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0, plus chmod 666 /dev/kqemu, but still not found. I had no problems with your preceding dotpup of qemu (was it 0.8.3?) plus kqemu-1.3.0pre9 compiled on my machine. Oh, and I cannot compile kqemu-1.3.0pre11 because I have immediately an error at ./configure:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# cd kqemu-1.3.0pre11                                               
sh-3.00# ./configure
big/little test failed
Source path       /root/kqemu-1.3.0pre11
C compiler        gcc
Host C compiler   gcc
make              make
host CPU          i386

kernel sources    /lib/modules/2.6.18.1/build
kbuild type       2.6

Any hint?

EDIT: my fault. RTFD. It had to be

Code: Select all

modprobe kqemu major=250
mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0
chmod 666 /dev/kqemu

now it works. How is it? The wow comes now?

BTW I was kindly allowed by Fabrice Bellard to include kqemu in rudypuppy on jan 30th, just few days before it became gpl'd. But the permission of M. Bellard is one thing I enjoyed very much... just like an autograph from a celebrity. Just look at the sort of things this guy has made by himself: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/ - he's on wikipedia too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrice_Bellard

Most people just don't have the time to learn how to setup qemu not to mention kqemu so a package with both and at least a simple gui would be greatly appreciated. Because Puppy is meant to be an intuitive easy to use o/s.

I am going to include jqemu-1.1.0 in rudypuppy. It's a nice gui in java. Here is it:

[cb88]

Thanks all us moderately command line impaired qemu users thank you.
now to install java.
non java guies(guis?gooies? ) still welcome.
happy coding,
cb88

Personally I think this Gui is lacking. I don't think it can switch drive images on the fly like virtualbox or vmware can files be transfered between hosr and gest. A puppy specific gui that offers built in transfer capability between gest and host a simple interface like soxgui and the ability to switch disk images on the fly. No java it makes gui too big if that is all you use java for. Does soxgui use Gtk? I am going to put a post in "Aditional Software" for anyone who has feature sugestions or who has already or wants to develop such a gui.

thanks for jqemu it is great for now,

I am trying to run windows98 in Puppy using QEMU. The thing is I can't access CD-Rom after booting from it. I mean I can boot up from CD-rom, but installation files are in different folder on that CD. I have read that it's possible to mount the image file, but each time I try this I'm getting error like "wrong file system type". I tried different kinds of image - raw and qcow, but still no result. Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thank you.
