Sure you can do that. But first of all, I want a legally clean solution 
(no trial version, but a truly free one) and second, I simply want to 
fix the bug ;).

I have had a look at your guide. Good job making QEMU accessible to 
newbies. One thing you might want to change is the way hard disk images 
are created though. Using qemu-mkcow is much more space-efficient than 
dd, as it will not fill 1GB of your hard drive with useless zeros if 
that space is not allocated by the guest operating system.
