The last time I used qemu a few years ago, I ended up running wine |
| 7 |
from the guest as an X client, using the host's display. The display |
| 8 |
was native, and faster than the emulation. I also didn't have to build |
| 9 |
the full-blown X-server on the guest. Here are my latest scripts/commands |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1) The install startup script |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 14 |
sudo /usr/bin/qemu-kvm \ |
| 15 |
-vga vmware \ |
| 16 |
-vnc :2 \ |
| 17 |
-redir tcp:60022::22 \ |
| 18 |
-cpu qemu32 \ |
| 19 |
-m 3072 \ |
| 20 |
-hda sda.raw -hdb sdb.raw -cdrom installx86.iso -boot d |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2) Launching vncviewer |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
vncviewer localhost:2 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3) ssh from the guest to the host |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
ssh root@localhost |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
4) ssh from the host to the guest |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
ssh -p 60022 root@localhost |
| 33 |
|
