All is great - much appreciated. Now I see where the output is going. I'd tried Ctrl-Alt-F1,2. Sorry - I think this is (another) thing to add to the docs, since I didn't see it there. Best wishes Richard P.S. WinXP + SP1 + SP2 now works almost flawlessly on Qemu. (Well, at least as well as Windows ever does!). So far, my only wishes would be: * Mic input * Support for Wheel-Mouse * Option for higher screen res. (What about using VNC as the graphics driver?) * Option for use of host devices (parport, ttyS0, usb...) This would be *really* cute - and I should imagine, really hard to do! Jim C.
