Sam,
I have not been using virt-manager but:
Create an image file:
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1024 count=2000000000
or qemu has its own image creation tool:
qemu-img create -f qcow disk.img 2GB
or:
qemu-img create -f raw disk.img 2GB
Boot an ISO image to install to a disk image:
qemu -cdrom MicroXP_v0.82.iso -boot d disk.img
- I think I also needed to manually reboot with:
qemu -hda disk.img
After install, boot the img:
qemu-kvm disk.img
I saw a note that:
qemu-system-x86_64
should be used to prevent future problems but I don't know what that is
about yet . .
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Phil.
