Sounds like for the time being you need to be somewhat tech saavy to install it and use it. But the benchmarks are not bad.

I have a PC at home but wouldn't mind testing it for kicks.

Couldnt hurt to try. Let us know how it goes if you do!

Are you using QemuX to do the install for you or installed Qemu first by itself?

You could have but the info for qemuX says it will do the whole shooting match for you.

What OS are you trying to install with it? 98? 98SE? XP HE? XP Pro?

I will have to try it when I get home and see what happens.
