I'm trying again through the University's webmail system...we'll see what happens.] I have been trying to install Win2K Pro on qemu (running under Debian "testing" on x86). The installation almost makes it through, but not quite. At the point where you can select optional Windows components, it shows 0.0 MB available disk space and simply won't let you proceed, no matter which components you select. A screenshot is at http://kaon.physics.berkeley.edu/~fegray/disk-full.png I've tried 1.5 GB and 2 GB partitions, and I've tried both today's CVS and the 0.5.3 release. (In the latter, I commented out the initialization of the SB16 sound card and I applied Renzo Davoli's NE2000 patch and Mark Jonckheere's patch to suppress dummy mouse events.) I tried both FAT and NTFS partition types. Always the same results. I gather that many of you have been successful in installing Win2K -- has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions for me? At the moment I'm using an evaluation copy of vmWare to run some electronics CAD programs (my only use for Windows), but that runs out in a few weeks, and it sounds like qemu is close to being ready for prime time if I can just get past this one screen...
