Subject: [Qemu-devel] Running Linux on Mac OS X

Hi!
I came upon Qemu as I was looking for a way to run Linux from Mac OS X.
I'm a Java developer and need to test my software on Linux. I spend
most of my time in Mac OS X and sometimes boots into Yellow Dog Linux
for testing, but it would be very useful if I could just boot Linux
directly without leaving Mac OS X.
I downloaded and installed Qemu for Mac OS X. I was able to
successfully boot the linux.img from linux-test-xxx.tar.gz. Now I'm
trying to move up to something more complete, so following the screen
shots seen on <www.freeoszoo.org/screenshots.php> that show Mandrake 10
running on Mac OS X, I downloaded mandrake-10.0-x86.tar.bz2 from
<www.freeoszoo.org/download.php>, and am trying to run it.
Just to make sure, I downloaded mandrake-10.0-x86.tar.bz2, which I
decompressed with the tar tool to get mandrake-10.0-x86.img. Then I did
this from a terminal window:
qemu -hda mandrake-10.0-x86.img -boot c -m 128 -std-vga -user-net
Which launches Linux and gets me to the login prompt. I type root, and
the <www.freeoszoo.org/download.php> download page says it should boot
directly into KDE, but all I get is the command line. How do I get a UI
going?
Steve
