Note: KQEMU will not work under Ubuntu 10.04. QEmu uses kqemu, an acceleration driver included in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn to run Windows at usable speed. QEmu can run an OS inside another OS - for example, Windows under Linux. This method also works perfectly under Ubuntu 8.04 If you need USB functionality with QEMU please see the details here: here. NOTE: Changes made to the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron distribution code have broken the USB functionality in QEMU. Most of the stuff in this page is not specific to installing Windows XP under Qemu it can be used to install other operating systems as well. In most cases, its functionality is provided by a free Linux program (see SoftwareEquivalents).Ĭonsider also Wine instead of Qemu, if you only need to run a single Windows program. Saving and Restoring the State of the VMīefore installing this Windows emulator, consider whether or not it's truly necessary for you.
Installing Windows in QEmu with Feisty 7.04 and Gutsy 7.10.This method also works perfectly under Ubuntu 8.04.
