Do you know what you should do now?

Head to:

http://liveusb-openbsd.sf.net

and download an image and unpack with 7zip.

Following that run this:

# qemu -hda usb-2g.bin

It will stop at a point and you have to follow the instructions in my
site to see the full emulation environment.

You can try the same trick with any ISO image.

# qemu -cdrom openbsd46.iso

You can have an OS installed in a 2GB filestore like this.

# qemu-img create os.bin 2G

# qemu -hda os.bin -cdrom openbsd46.iso -boot d

qemu is amazingly powerful.

And I got this working very well on our good old Winblows as well. ;)

PS: I shall send the language tip in a little while. I got distracted yday.
