Reply To: [HowTo] Install QEMU/KVM on antiX

[PPCMember]

If this does work (as it seems it does), maybe this script could be addapted and added to Package Installer (along with a simple GUI for QEMU, there are some available).
A mini tutorial on how to use qemu (to launch .iso’s, to launch cd/dvd’s and install to a virtula disk) is available here: http://linux-tips.com/t/booting-from-an-iso-image-using-qemu/136

I got this error on the very last part of the script (on antiX 19.X 64bits, sysv):

[....] Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq
dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use
 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript dnsmasq, action "start" failed.

P.

Edit:
I tried to test qemu by running antiX’s iso in VM. I only got this:

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom ~/antiX-21_386-full.iso -m 1024
VNC server running on ::1:5900

qemu-system-i386 -boot d -cdrom ~/antiX-21_386-full.iso -m 1024
Got me the same result.

qemu-system-x86_64    -boot d \
                      -cdrom ~/antiX-21-b2-runit_x64-full.iso \
                      -m 1024 \
                      -curses

Shows, for a fraction of a second, a “seabios” text then switches to 800×600 empty screen and stops.

The terminal didn’t freeze, but nothing happened… Long ago I used to test iso’s with qemu this way… Am I missing something?
