I would be happy to contribute a section. First I need to learn how qemu
works though. Just the basics. On another list someone told me that the
way qemu works is by first creating a blank image, then booting a CD
from the virtual machine and installing.

At this point I know how to make a blank image, and I know how to boot a
CD:

qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom

Now I need to figure out how to put these together so that if this CD
can install an operating system, qemu will know to use the blank image I
made (call it c.img) as a hard drive for its virtual machine.

Could someone tell me how to do that?

I'll be happy to write an intro tutorial for new users with the
knowledge I gain.

Cheers,
Daniel.
