[Qemu-devel] Stupid question: Copy and paste between host and guest OS

[Qemu-devel] Stupid question: Copy and paste between host and guest OS

[Jesus M. Salvo Jr.]

Now that I have RH 7.2 running as a guest OS in qemu, with Fedora Core1 
as the host OS,
I am now able to run CheckPoint SecureRemote client to connect to the 
data centre.
( The CheckPoint software will only work with a very specific kernel 
from RedHat 7.2/7.3 )

1) Question now is ... how can I copy and paste between the host and 
guest OS ?

2) Is there also a way of buffering the "screen" output of qemu ?
As in, I execute some commands within the guest OS but it is too long to 
fit on the screen.
For example, when I execute a SQL query from within sybase's isql, etc ....

Hi all,

Further to Jesus' query; is there a way to map arbitrary block devices
from the host to the Guest?  For example, can /dev/ttyS0 in the host be
mapped into /dev/ttyS0 on the guest?

Jesus, as far as buffering goes, you can use the 'screen' utility to do
this (it independently offers scrollback functionality)
