Hi, Why do you say that it has nothing to do with accessibility as all
of the documentation I can locate on kvm is based on using the graphical
interfaces and for users who just want to do text based virtualization
on linux I think more information is needed? I have done virtualization
on windows before so do understand the concepts but am trying to use kvm
in a purely text based mode and finding good tutorials on doing this
currently I am unable to do so.  This is why I am suggesting on some
information in the wiki on this topic like what packages are the most
accessible to install both for the graphical desktop and the text based
interface.  Nick Gawronski

Hi, So to provide this qcow2 image with 4 gigs of ram and all processor
cores how would I run kvm and if I ever wanted to just reinstall fedora
server into this qcow2 image and have an iso image how do I do this
using only the command line as I am unable to locate any good
documentation on doing this perhaps something to add to the
accessibility wiki page for users who want to test either the same
processor type or run an emulator like arm64 on a x64 based system? Nick

Your question has nothing to do with accessibility but you need to
familiarize yourself with virtualisation/HW acceleration.

I would create a new thread on the debian-user mailing list! ;^)

A few pointers:

- Qemu/VB are machine emulators
- KVM or HAXM on windows are  HD accelerators
-
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6710555/how-to-use-qemu-to-run-a-non-gui-os-on-the-terminal

The last point is the first hit found while googling!

HTH.


P.S.

The wiki is for anyone to edit.


P.S.2

I strongly suggest you to move this to the debian-user mailing list.
