booting usb images created by make-live using vmware



Hi folks.

I got the 20070215 (sic) .img to run under linux qemu ...

  qemu bios -soundhw sb16 -hda debian-live-sid-i386-standard.img

Oddly it hangs for a long time after "loop: loaded" and "squashfs:
version".  Maybe I need kqemu or a faster CPU (my laptop is a
four-year-old 1.4GHz Pentium M).

It goes to prompt a lot faster with...

  qemu bios -soundhw sb16 -hda debian-live-sid-i386-standard.img
-append init=/bin/bash

...but obviously with a lot less running

I also did some minor edits to your new wiki page- I hope you don't mind.
