wow, that was way cool. thanks, d. Ognjen, this is a sweet little
setup. I will probably give something less compact a whirl first, as
I have way more machine at my disposal than this requires -- but it's
incredible how tiny you've made this, I'm very impressed and I have a
strong urge to drop what I'm doing & start fooling around with the
TRULY ancient laptops I have lying around (one 286...).
meanwhile, re qemu:
yes, this is an emulator; it's fairly unbelievably cool. To try it
out, you can just apt-get install qemu; but it works much better with
the third-party kernel module enabled; to use this you have to
uninstall the debian qemu package, then download the source for qemu
and kqemu (the kernel bits), and make your own package. I forget
exactly how I did that, but I think I followed instructions off of the
qemu website and then installed the resultant package using
checkinstall (so that it is still registered in the packaging system).
I recommend it VERY strongly. If nothing else it's good forthat last
little bit of windows garbage that you are stuck with because of work
or something.
