When I say that I made the menu system work with Zitu's images, I
specifically mean it will recognize the disk image's file extension
that Zitu's program produces (which is *.dat, vs the usual .img and
.dsk extensions) and display those as menu choices.

The menu is only able to creating disk images with the mkqemuimage
util for now and while it wouldn't be a lot of work to add dd, I think
it would make the interface more confusing than it needs to be...

Perhaps a patch with a conditonal define for win32 targets to
mkqemuimage would be the better way to go...

Cheers,

[Qemu-devel] QEMU 0.6.1 ISO boot bug on Windows hosts?

[Garth Dahlstrom]

I just downloaded Ronald's QEMU 0.6.1 package.

Seems almost all my Knoppix based ISOs (Damn Small Linux, Feather
Linux, Knoppix 3.7 and KnoppMyth) crash as soon as the kernel starts
uncompressing...

I'm running on a 2x P3 800 - is there any SSE3 type optimization that
might be the cause or something?  Can anyone confirm this is a problem
for them on Win32?

Cheers,

-Garth

I only have dsl-0.8.1.1 and can boot it without problems (dsl 2 vga=normal
lang=fr dma) on win98/athlon1800. 
There is no special flags except for SDL ( CFLAGS='-O3 -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer -march=i586', --enable-debug=no --disable-nasm
--enable-directx=no).
The only problem I have found is the keyboard (still AltGr), works for
freedos and win98 guest but not for dsl.

Where can I find the OS X port?

FreeOSZoo still lists 0.6.

While I'm here, I tried to join qemu-users list as well but it doesn't 
seem to be working and the archive is not accessible - also the contact 
e-mail for it bounces.

Thanks

(excellent work by the way - very good fun being able to run Windows in 
OS X )

Sorry to mention that, but I did not write this software. I found it
as an alternative to create files bigger than 2Gb quickly.

I'm not the owner/author in anyway, and we should make sure we don't
distribute this piece of software. We should instead point to it as
an alternative of mkqemuimage, or fix the latter as Fabrice pointed
out...
