How long is this expected to > take :-) ? TIA & thx for everything so far .... Well, I killed this after 5+ hrs & tried the same command w/ qemu-system-i386, killed it after 54 min. Both gave a small bit of gibberish in the CLI window I started them in, then nothing until killed :-/ .... Is anyone onlist successfully using qemu-devel 2.2.0 under FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p5 w/ windoze VM's :-) ? TIA .... -- William A.
