But there are still problems with the CDROMs. I think that just a simple command line switch is sufficient. I wrap all my QEMU invocations in small shell scripts anyway, so I do not see all the command line args. I do not care whether the default is local time or UTC. As long as I can make it UTC for my QEMU instances, I'm happy :-) I wouldn't worry about making QEMU have a config file at this point. Just keep up the great work with the emulator itself and adding PCI and graphics. If I could pay you for this, I would! QEMU is one of the most useful open source projects I've used in years.
