Thanks for the links, Jure.

Now for a bug report:

I am trying to run Webconverger in the qemu VM.

firefox3.iso and MorphixLiveKiosk_0.03.iso worked fine, but
wc-2.4.img, wc-2.4.img, wc-1.8.iso all drop to the busybox prompt, but no 
definitive reason why.

carl@vaio:~/qemu$ qemu -cdrom wc-2.4.iso -boot c -m 196 -serial stdio
Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated
ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP
PCI: PIIX3: Enabling Passive Release on 0000:00:01.0
Loading, please wait...
FATAL: Error inserting fan 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/kernel/drivers/acpi/fan.ko): No such device
FATAL: Error inserting thermal 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/kernel/drivers/acpi/thermal.ko): No such device

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)

I use "-serial stdio" and "boot: live console=ttyS0,115200" so that I have 
output I can cut/paste into the email.  I get the same problem if I boot it 
without any options.

those 2 FATAL errors are fairly common, and are probably not the reason it is 
dropping to the prompt.

vmware-player runs wc-2.4.iso ok and I just put wc-2.4.img on a usbstick and a 
real machine booted just fine.

So the qemu problem isn't stopping anything real.  It just seems like something 
that should be looked into.  It could be a problem with qemu.
