Install Fedora 8 (Werewolf) on Windows XP with QEMU

Step 6 FIRST BOOT

6.1 LAUNCH QEMU

For finalising the installation of the new system you must first restart QEMU with this modified command line (to use the updated disk image as the boot device) :

qemu.exe -L Bios -m 256 -hda Images\fedora8.img -soundhw all -localtime -M pc                    -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user -no-acpi

It will then start grub from the freshly installed disk image and the kernel + init + the graphical boot display are now starting...

6.2 FIRSTBOOT APPLICATION

Welcome screen is displayed and you will need to configure for all different steps (seen on the left of the display).

6.2.1 Firewall

In your guest machine this is not needed.

6.2.2 SELinux

In your guest machine this is not needed.

6.2.3 Date and time

Update time if needed. If you have a running ntp server on your network you'll better choose to enable ntp.

6.2.4 Hardware profile

You can check here the QEMU emulated machine:

Audio device is an ES1370 and graphic card is a GD 5446. I choose not to send the profile but it’s up to you.

6.2.5 Create user

Add at least one user and now it’s time to really restart and have fun with your installed Fedora 8...
