[no subject]

I see you are running FreeBSD-5.3. I am running 4.3 and trying to 
upgrade but my old motherboard has an old BIOS that won't 'see' my large 
HD, so....I need to upgrade the BIOS so I can install 5.3. To do this I 
need to run some MS Win utilities to burn the new ROM and for that need 
to install Qemu on 4.3   :-)

When I try to ./configure Qemu [on 4.3] I get....

"cannot compile statically with SDL - qemu-fast won't have a graphical 
output"

What's wrong and how do I fix it ? [what's SDL ?]

Appreciatively,

Courtney

&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;The subject line really says it all...wow!  After compiling the cvs
&gt;&gt;version and installing the accelerator module, things have worked
&gt;&gt;brilliantly.  So far, I've installed Windows XP and FreeBSD.  Both
&gt;&gt;installs went more or less flawlessly...very nice.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Performance is very good with the accelerator module...very, very 
&gt;&gt;usable. It's just a tad slower than Win4Lin 5, although likely this 
&gt;&gt;is due to WinXP vs. Win98 more than anything else.  It's definitely 
&gt;&gt;on par with VMWare/WinXP.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;I'd recommend you give it a shot if you're interested in having a free
&gt;&gt;alternative to VMWare.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;As a side note, the new Win4Lin Pro product that adds Windows XP 
&gt;&gt;support is actually built on top of Qemu.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;Have fun. Let me know if you have any questions.

&gt; 
&gt; I just installed this and want to give it a whirl.  Does it work like 
&gt; VMWare in that I can install Win2000 virtually and run from this 
&gt; machine?  If so, just a pointer or two on starting this up.
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks.
