</div>QEMU is a full system emulator - emulating real hardware on an x86 host.<br>
It allows you to run -- in this case -- Slackware ARM , and make Slackware<br>
ARM think it's running on a real ARM development board.<br>
<br>
It's not a compiler. You'd be best off checking the QEMU web page<br>
for more information.<br>

</div>I'm a little puzzled by this: Slackware ARM is a port of Slackware -- QEMU<br>
is an emulator. You install Slackware ARM to an emulated SCSI hard disk<br>
(which is really a single image file on your host PC); and it behaves<br>
like Slackware x86 once installed -- and Slackware ARM believes it's<br>
running on real ARM hardware.<br>
<br>
The installation of Slackware ARM will be the same as Slackware x86 -- a<br>
full operating system, running off a disc. You could make a DVD ISO of<br>
it but I don't know why you'd want to, apart from say a backup.<br>
