There's a writeup of how to get that installed and running under qemu here: http://thebeezspeaks.blogspot.in/2012/05/my-life-with-coherent-part-2.html However, there have been some reports of stability issues with the emulated disk under qemu; VirtualBox seems to be the most consistently reliable (and fast!) alternative, but you have to run it under a 32-bit host OS. I ended up installing a 32-bit Linux under VMWare to run virtual box to run COHERENT (yes, it's awful). I haven't tried qemu lately to see if the stability problems have been addressed, though. - Dan C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
