Do you have any suggestions in order to get W2K > installed and working correctly onto QEMU? It depends on what version you use. Win2k with service pack 1 seems to work fine here. But Win2k sp3 is pretty hard to install. I use a Linux host tho. 2.4 kernel. > 3. Is there a way to emulate an AS 400 System using > QEMU or other software? what is AS 400? > 4. Do I need to do some tricks to bypass that w2k > install phase? Did you close qemu at that point and then restart it (with the same options) ? Can't guarrentee it will work, but sometimes it seems to help. For the paranoid, you can use savevm in the qemu monitor before you close it, and restart it with the -snapshot option. If, say, installation decides to restart from the very beginning, you can just quit qemu again (snapshot will prevent disk from being changed) and then you can use -loadvm option to load the saved vm state, which will put you back to where you left off. > > Please help me or refer me someone that can help me as > faster as you can? > > Thanks in advance.
