Hello. Bit of a newbie question I'm afraid, but I've spent hours trying
to figure this Qemu thing out!
I have been trying to mount the Mandrake 10.1 FreeOSZoo image onto Qemu
0.6.1 under Windows XP. My basic problem is that once I extract the
<image>.tar.bz2 to make it <image>.tar, using 7zip, I can't then repeat
the process to get the final <image>.img file that I seem to require in
order to fire it up in Qemu. Is there a simple solution to this? 7zip
just tells me that the .tar file is not a valid archive.
I've also had trouble getting Qemu to launch properly using, for
example, a Knoppix .iso image. Like I say, I've spent ages trying to get
to grips with the Qemu information that is around the place, so does
anybody know of a good place for me to start looking for some simple
newbie guidance?
Many thanks, in advance.

Did you try using /bin/tar ?

2 places: the Qemu User forum (http://www.dad-answers.com/qemu/) and the Qemu
Mailing list archives.

Since he's on Windows, it's likely that he doesn't have /bin/tar.

The user does not know what he wants until he sees what he gets.

Cygwin's tar can do that in ONE pass on windows :
tar jxf <qemuimage.img.tar.bz2>
=> qemuimage.img is ready to be used.

It is available from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm
Winzip can also extract from tar archives, if that helps.
