I’m running it here now, was easy to install and running is a breeze. eg (I have a data partition); ```auto cd data mkdir kvmhdd cd kvmhdd qemu-img-kvm create openSUSE_12.2.img 10G qemu-kvm -m 1024 -boot d --cdrom /data/repositories/iso_images/openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0451-x86_64.iso /data/kvmhdd/openSUSE_12.2.img ``` Don’t forget to add your user to the kvm group, a reboot also helps… – Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86\_64) Kernel 3.0.34-0.7-default up 2 days 3:20, 3 users, load average: 0.03, 0.16, 0.26 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU ---

But if necessary, I’ll install qemu as well. 🙂 [color=blue] > I’m running it here now, was easy to install and running is a breeze. > eg (I have a data partition); > > ` > cd data mkdir kvmhdd cd kvmhdd qemu-img-kvm create openSUSE_12.2.img 10G > qemu-kvm -m 1024 -boot d --cdrom > /data/repositories/iso_images/openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0451-x86_64.iso > /data/kvmhdd/openSUSE_12.2.img ` > > Don’t forget to add your user to the kvm group, a reboot also helps…[/color] Great, thanks for the tips. 🙂 Jim – Jim Henderson, CNA6, CDE, CNI, LPIC-1, CLA10, CLP10 Novell Knowledge Partner
