Hey friends,

Im kinda new on qemu. Can anyone help me how to use my cdrom? I am running Windows on my ubuntu. I want to install other applications on the virtual machine but i just can't install it. How about snapshot? How will i do it? Thanks.

Well if Windows is already installed, you'd put the CD for the program in your drive and start qemu like this:

Code:

qemu -boot c -cdrom /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -hda /path/to/windows.img

Then go to My Computer > D: and I'm sure you know the rest.

Thanks. Can I change CD media while VM is running? If so, how will I do it? I used VMWare before and its a lot easier to use because of its GUI. I am browsing the web for how-tos but I can't seem to find any. I am just wondering if you can help me with the ff:

1.) I have two ethernet cards:
eth0 local ip (192.168.0.220)
eth1 static ip

I want to use both of that ethernet cards in my VM. How will I do it?

2.) Is there a way for me to activate the plug and play USB in my VM. My VM is windows 2000.

3.) In VMWare, there is a suspend feature which freezes the screen and the processes. I can resume it even after I reboot my machine. Is that possible in qemu?

Hope you can help me find the answers thanks.
