Talk:QEMU/Images

-kernel-kqemu is depricated....

why is there no mention of qed as an image type? it outperforms qcow2 by far

Broken links/aging
The linux.img is no longer available via the QEMU dowloads page. Will update the link when I find it again, but it does raise questions about the age of some of the other information in this manual. - Amgine (discuss • contribs) 17:42, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

fails on step 1 on ubuntu
there is no qemu on ubuntu. there is qemu_x86_64 and qemu-i386. trying either as qemu-i386 linux-0.2.img says "error while loading ... : Permission denied" even as a su.

I think perhaps this is because it should be qemu-system-i386, or qemu-system-x86_64 followed by image. The lack of any explanation about when 'qemu' does nothing is discouraging to a new user like me..... Although working out the commands to get a raspberry pi image to run is really not a casual user process at all. I have yet to succeed.

It would be preferable if the document here states use qemu-system. an_image.img. Better still might be a return from typing qemu at the commandline that says "you must use.....etc"
