Hi. I'm planning to use qemu now I think. Because I've read a lot of how to set it up, and you can do almost everything in text mode. Specifiyng sound options, create a system imageetc. What is the best solution? qemu or virtualbox? Also, do you know if there is a way of editing files in an iso-file? I'm planning to do an unattended xp install, and need to put my winnt.sif file on the cd. /Kristoffer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 9:14 AM Subject: Re: Linux virtualization > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Sat, Jun 05, 2010 at 12:08:11AM -0400, trev.saunders at gmail.com wrote: >> you could try vboxgtk if you need a gui. > > Interesting, I'll take a look at it.
