Just look at qcow compressed image format. Qemu
doesn't require any additional services from host
OS. The decompression is implemented by Qemu and
is transparent for guest.
Hint: for space reasons, the cloop image is an ISO9660 formatted Linux
system, so you probably have to have an ISO9660 enabled (not module)
kernel, and you probably have to specify the kernel separately via
"-kernel", as the cloop image (at least to my knowledge) does not contain
a valid boot loader.
Okay, so I hacked together a driver which is able to read at least the
newest Knoppix image (from 3.6EN).
Only problem: When you start it with
qemu -hda /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX \
-kernel /cdrom/boot/isolinux/linux24 \
-initrd /cdrom/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz \
-append root=/dev/hda
Knoppix believes it runs from the HD (installed version) and does not
recreate /etc/fstab, and then just stops.
Any Knoppix hackers out there? Maybe one can trick Knoppix into recreating
all these files nontheless?
Ciao,
Dscho
