A little better, but only a little. At the point where Win98 asks me to point it to my old windows files (to = verify for Win98 being an 'upgrade') and I change the cd: 1) Twice the guest appeared to lock up. I'd switch to the cd drive and = the hour glass would show up, and nothing further would happen. I = couldn't even move the mouse cursor. 2) Once I was able to actually switch to the new cd iso image. = (Although I didn't go any further because I did #3 next.) 3) After I managed to switch it to the right ISO image, I decided to try = and switch to another ISO image. That change failed. It showed the = previous directory structure on the cd. When I clicked on an invalid = directory, nothing else happened. Qemu didn't crash (like before), but = nothing happened and I couldn't get Win98 to quit, so I could point it = to the right directory or try changing the cd again. 4) In one test, when I tried changing the cd, it wouldn't recognise any = cd image I tried. In the final test, I used my cd image that has Win98 and Win 3 (for = upgrade check) on it. That way I didn't have to do the cd change. In that test, it behaved like the ones from FreeOSZoo. Namely, it blue = screened after the first reboot. I forgot to check to see if it accepts spaces in the pathnames, but I = have no reason to believe it does. (And for the record, these are the same images I've used under vmware. = So they are correct and working.) > As a last resort, perhaps try to build the latest CVS source using the = > following instructions: I'd rather not build my own. I don't have any compilers even installed. = Been a while since I've done any programming at all and I just don't = bother to keep the stuff around. So I'd have to download it all first. = Too much trouble when cvs builds are already built and made available. If it's a build problem, then those builds need to get fixed. That'd = help everybody, not just me. But with two different build sources having the same problems, I doubt = it's a build problem. I didn't try Win98se or WinME, or even XP. This version is behaving enough like the ones from FreeOSZoo that I see = no reason to. It's pretty clear that the Windows builds are significantly broken. Or = else qemu just flat out doesn't like anything but Linux guests.
