Template:stub Techniques: Qemu on Linux This article is about setting up and running the Qemu emulator on Linux.

Notes

When Bochs mysteriously stopped being able to run [[Windows 98|Win98]], I found that Qemu was able to use the exact same .img file Bochs had been using, and it did manage to load Win98 quite easily. It would appear, then, that the setup for Qemu on Linux is probably quite similar to that of Bochs.
