One thing I'm finding (and Shay is having problems with it too) is the lack of virtual memory one can have.
For me having 1Gb of actual memory and only getting 386Mb is not enough if I wanted to do some video editing in XP (about the only reason now to use it BTW!).
Is there any way of tweaking the software to increase this?
Something else worth mentioning is that installing software seems to take an age and causes the CPU to run at 100%. It does eventually get there but possibly indicates an area for further examination as to why this is so - I guess a lot of it is the virtual memory issue but not sure.
Is any of this information easily available on the Internet, other than the wiki?
<Modified> OK there is good stuff if you Google for it, typically
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/
I feel we're missing a trick here - I'd never heard of Qemu but everyone knows vmware, and I think it's about time Qemu was pushed more.
What about a more comprehensive HOWTO on Ubuntu forums giving some of this extra information?
I don't feel I have the inside knowledge on the software to be able to support such a HOWTO, but you obviously do.
Do you have time to do one - if not I would be happy to write one for you to then put out in public and support the queries.
