[Qemu-devel] QEMU Advent Calendar has begun - Day 1

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

Today is the first day of QEMU Advent Calendar 2014, where an
interesting and fun QEMU disk image is published every day.

http://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/

I won't spam the mailing list every day but I wanted to let you know
that from now until Christmas we will publish a daily image for your
enjoyment.

The first image was contributed by Gerd Hoffmann and showcases an
amazing Slackware Linux 1.0 distribution with a pre-1.0 Linux kernel
from 1993!

Want to contribute a cool disk image?  There are still days remaining
for which we need disk images.  Email me if you would like to
contribute!

Enjoy,
Stefan

Nice!

Just a small note: I added the below options to the 'Run' script's QEMU
invocation, so I can get a nice shell right away :-)

    -nographic -nodefconfig -nodefaults

    $ ./Run 
    + exec qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 16M -drive
    if=ide,format=qcow2,file=slackware.qcow2 -netdev user,id=slirp -device
        ne2k_isa,netdev=slirp -serial stdio -nographic -nodefconfig
        -nodefaults
