Some network questions: - without any "-net" option I get a "user" config, I can see my physical gateway and browse internet but I can't see my LAN share - is this correct? - with "-smb /somedir" I get also access to my LAN share - is correct? - emulated nic is a RTL8109 at 10 Mb/Half Duplex - is correct? Some disk questions: - AutocadLT 2007 don't install, stopping after .NET framework installation - no CPU and no disk I/O activity but no freeze In XP log there is an event with a problem in wuaueng.dll. I have already installed this program in a Vmware XP virtual machine Using standard qemu without KVM (and without kqemu) give me same result. Some USB tablet problems: - mouse is correctly working but is step-moving Some CD problem - if there is no CD in drive, XP don't start using a -cdrom directive, putting a CD in drive make it to start. Some performance problems: - I/O on disk is about 1/3 of Vmware I/O preformance but about 3 times qemu performance - display performance is approx as qemu - cursor performance (using usb tablet) is as qemu performance - no network performance for now Start command is: bin/qemu -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /dev/hdd -usb -usbdevice tablet -k it -smb /download -boot c -m 256 Regards Franco Spinelli ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
