qemu for Debian --------------- The qemu debian package does not include the video.x file, which is needed by qemu-system-ppc for some systems. The file is available from the mac-on-linux project, and the sources are available on: http://mac-on-linux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mac-on-linux/mac-drivers/video_driver/Makefile?revision=HEAD&view=markup They are not buildable on a Debian system though, hence video.x is not present in the package. The qemu-system-ppc binary is still useful for emulating a PReP platform, which does not need video.x. -- Aurelien Jarno Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:17:39 +0100 The qemu debian package includes a simple script called qemu-make-debian-root under /usr/sbin, which uses debootstrap to create an image suitable for qemu with a fresh Debian installation inside. If you just want a test system, not wanting to go through any installation process, that might be just ideal. Take a look at the manual page qemu-make-debian-root (8) for further usage instructions. -- Guilherme de S. Pastore , Sun May 15 09:49:11 2005
