ccLiveContent DVD and QEMU on Gentoo

If you want to test the latest livecontent DVD, you can just use qemu and the iso disc:

qemu -kernel-kqemu -cdrom ./ccLiveContent-2.0-1202964485.iso -boot d -m 512

I don’t think I have kqemu working or something because its still super slow running on my thinkbook X61 with 4 gb of ram…hmmmm…

    I suggest you try VirtualBox, it’s much faster then Qemu ime.

    X61? Use KVM! modprobe kvm-intel && kvm -cdrom …iso -boot d -m 512

    Well, I won’t ask the obvious question (”Why not test the ccLiveContent DVD using virtualization in Fedora?) After all, there is the use case of, “Wants to use ccLiveContent DVD, runs Gentoo, and doesn’t want to reboot to the live media but run it in a virt machine.”

    Myself, I’m going to pull the image down and try it out under Fedora 8 virtualization:

    Cool…thanks for all the suggestions…VirtualBox has some issues on my box, so will try KVM next…Unfortunately Karsten, I’m not going to install Fedora on my laptop at this time…thanks for the tip though and cool that Virtualization ships with Fedora 8
