Re: [Arch Linux] How to emulate Debian GNU/Hurd?

[Osama Albahrani <osalbahr@gmail.com>]

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to follow the same syntax:

$ qemu-x86_64 -m 2G -drive file=$(echo debian-hurd*.img),cache=writeback
qemu: unknown option 'm'
$ qemu-x86_64 -drive file=$(echo debian-hurd*.img),cache=writeback
qemu: unknown option 'drive'

How can I emulate Debian GNU/Hurd on Arch Linux?

I don't seem to find `kvm` or `qemu-kvm` binaries:

$ pkgfile -b kvm

$ pkgfile -b qemu-kvm

$ pkgfile -b fastfetch

Maybe look just for qemu
