I'm trying to do some Y2038 testing, using VMs. So what I'd like to do is have the time pre-set to after the Y2038 time and then boot an OS/VM (to have the 'BIOS' provide the post 2038 time). (In this case I'm trying to test an application under Win XP.) [Please, no emails about upgrading the OS. Customer wants... customer gets...]
How does Fedora's Virtual Machine manager and QEMU support this? Or can it?
TIA Fulko

During my searching, I hadn't come across that entry yet. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
