Indirect HDD install

[hansieb]

Dear member,

I have installed Knoppix but like to install Suse Linux. A direct install while starting up doesn't work because the HDD can't be read.

But after mounting I have the openSUSE.iso in /media/sr0

"If you really want to boot an operating system inside a running Knoppix you can use qemu."

But qemu can't be found.

knoppix@Microknoppix:-$ qemu
bash: qemu: command not found

How can I solve this problem?


Thank you.

Yu have to use the wrappe script kvm if you want to run qemu.

If your processor supports virtualization and it is enabled by the BIOS you can use kvm. Check for support by:

egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

If you get the result "vmx" type

modprobe kvm-intel

otherwise if you get the result "svm" type

modprobe kvm-amd

to load the kvm module.
