Are you having a problem getting FC installed on a qemu virtual machine? Or are you just asking out of curiosity?

Certainly the best first step would be to simply try and install FC in Qemu and see if there is even a problem that requires outside assistance.

Yes - am not able to setup FC4 after I downloaded the iso image named FC4-i386-disc1 and extracted all files from the zipped qemu.

Here is what I want to achieve:
1. I want to be able to use qemu to simulate FC4 and DOS 6.22 and be able to carry it on a usb without worrys of any restrictions from pcs that require administrator privilages.

2. I also want to be to do the same with DOS 6.22

Note: Purpose is to train myself both DOS 6.22 AND FC4 using qemu by followning a book that trains on the BASICS of FC4

Currently working on setup of FC4 with qemu using this web link source:
I am following this website: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...te=1&p=4051387

Results: I have successed to startup the installation of FC4 using qemu but along the way there are questions that pertain to the setup of FC4

I follow this options but not sure if its the correct way to proceed:
1. Automatic partition
2. Remove all linux partions on this system
Select the drives to use on this installation hda 1992mb qemu harddisk
hda 1020mb qemu harddisk
3. Warning box appears.
You have chosen to remove all linux partitions: /dev/hda /dev/hdb
I select Yes
4. I than follow all boxes without making any changes along the way until I get to install default software packages then click the final box that tells me to have both cd 1 and cd 2 ready

The formatting begains:
Transfering install image to hard drive:
preparing rpm tranactions:
starting install process, this may take serv.min
ERROR MESSAGE: ----> disk space
ERROR MESSAGE: ----> You don't appear to have enought diskspace to install the packages you've selected. You need more space on the following file system: Mount Point Space Needed / 873 M

"ERROR MESSAGE" seems self-explanatory: you need to allocate more space (873mb to be exact, but certainly you'll want more than that so you aren't cutting it close).

Also are you aware all support FC4 ended many years ago? The current release is Fedora 13.
