Hi Steve<br>
<br>
The installer is meant to be run on which ever machine you want to run<br>
QEMU on.<br>
<br>
A single Slackware/x86 (32 or 64bit) machine can be the NFS server used<br>
for the one time installation, *and* also host Slackware ARM inside<br>
QEMU.<br>
<br>
The tip is: put QEMU on the fastest CPU you have -- it's slow!<br>
QEMU 0.9 used to be significantly faster for ARM emulation than<br>
0.10 -- I don't know what happened. It got more stable but slow!<br>
<br>
Does that help? I've adjusted the instructions in the first paragraph<br>
of the qemu installation document to make it clear that you only need<br>
one machine.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

(picture lucy flipping over backwards as charlie brown screams).<br><br>QEMU is a compiler/emulator (like the 8051 dissasembler/assembler program I ran on an original '80's pc). qemu, builds the arm kernel and compiles all the programs for arm. At least that is what I see from your response.<br>
<br>Ok then, I let it do it's thing, growing the disk image as needed as it builds the install image, then I probably create an ISO dvd from that disk - never mind... I think I saw instructions to transfer via usb later on in the how-to.<br>
<br>Stuart, ya'll rock. Hey, what up with the hybrid bsd/penguin graphic on my regular slack 13 i686/smb install? This doesn't have anything to do with preliminary chrome code I have not heard of yet, does it? Has Slack always been the best of both? (which is what we were rooting for when I worked for EDS/Unigraphics in the '85-'95 time range.<br>
