I couldn't get Win98, Win98se, WinME or WinXP installed and running. If I got
pass the cd change problem, then I'd get a blue screen later.
If I could get something other than DOS installed and working, then I might
agree with you...
To me, it's not ready for use. As I tried to stress, maybe it's a problem
with the daily windows builds on FreeOSZoo. Maybe the regular qemu version
works fine. I don't know.
I just know I tried 4 cvs versions (two were picked at random) and I couldn't
get Windows installed.
I haven't tried every version of qemu posted, so I don't know when the problem
first showed up, or if it's been there the whole time and I just somehow didn't
notice. (I might have used a 'combined' cd with Windows and Win3 for
compliance, so I didn't need to change the cd. And maybe I used some runtime
option that somehow changed things enough that allowed Windows 98 to install.
Or maybe...[shrug])

This happened 3 times. After the first time, I tried it again with Win98, and
then did it with Win98se too.

Most of the time, I only did a "change" command to change the cdrom image.
But I did try 'eject' first, and then do a 'change' and that didn't help either.
(I know that's not quite what you were talking about, but I thought it worth
mentioning.)
So there's definetly a problem during the install. And from what you say, even
when you get the OS installed, there's still a problem.
I don't know why nobody else has mentioned it. (If they have, then I haven't
seen it.) I don't know if this is a Windows build problem or if the Linux
versions have it too.
Again, I don't know if this is a regular qemu problem, or if it's a Windows cvs
build problem, or what.
