For the archives, steps I took that differ from/ in addition to the readme were: After creating .img file: $ ulimit -d 2000000 $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -monitor stdio -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img -cdrom openSUSE-11.4-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso -boot d Then when you get to the installer screen, select f4[kernel version]>safe mode; F3[graphics]>vesa Once installed and virtual disk compressed, normal booting works with: $ qemu -m 1300 -no-acpi -no-fd-bootchk -hda virtual.img then selecting failsafe mode to boot into a console (no x11) desktop. If you want a graphical desktop environment, choose failsafe mode and then delete "nomodeset x11 failsafe" from the boot arguments. Cheers, Brett.
