QEMU
Test DebianLive cdrom images with QEMU:
qemu -boot d -cdrom debian-live.iso -m 512 -soundhw sb16
Test usb images with QEMU:
qemu -hda debian-live.img -m 512 -soundhw sb16
Important notes:
- QEMU is painfully slow whitout the kernel module kqemu. Depending on the speed of your machine, it can take upto two minutes until the squashfs images is mounted. This is not a bug in Debian Live, just be more patient or install kqemu.
- If you want to use kqemu, you can install it with apt when using Debian kernels. If you are using linux-image-2.6-686, install it with:
apt-get install kqemu-module-2.6-686
- If you use your own, build it with module-assistant:
module-assistant prepare kqemu module-assistant auto-install kqemu
