Install Fedora 8 (Werewolf) on Windows XP with QEMU

The Complete Tutorial (a PDF Version is available)

To understand this tutorial you need some knowledge of a PC running Windows XP and a good background in Linux and Fedora. The aim of the tutorial is to show/focus on the differences and on the settings to be done when trying to run a Linux system inside the QEMU emulator.

Please consult the Qemu web site for more informations on this emulator.

Main part which is not presented is the QEMU accelerator that I could not install on the configured PC.

Step 1 FETCH AND INSTALL QEMU

QEMU home site is here, you can download the source code and the binaries there.

Latest version on Windows as of today is [http://http//lassauge.free.fr/qemu/ qemu-0.9.1-windows].

I don't know about you, but I'm using fedora 10!

[Gozer404]

Yes... me too :-> I've just not redone the instructable with Fedora 10, it's nearly the same actions to be done.... By the way I'm working on one with OpenSolaris10 on Qemu....

Nevermind, I have converted to openSUSE. It has WAY more features than fedora 10, and even my prefered Linux Ubuntu!

Instructable updated today for more readability by using the now known formatting options. See How Do I Format Text ?

Great job! I use fedora 8, and fedora core 5 on my desktop, and I might do this on my MacBook laptop using Q
