My host machine is FC3t3, and my qemu version is CVS (6.1) as of 10-26-2004... I've been able to install both WIN98 and WinXP just fine, but accessing the hard drive is sluggish at best. CD-ROM appears to be close to native. Anybody have any pointers or tips as fars speeding up my hard disk access with QEMU? Regards, -- -- Matthew Frederico http://www.ultrize.com
