Hi,

I edited this post and removed my small "tutorial".

Here is better tutorial about Microcore Linux:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfzhd6z4_397g3jjf4db

Hello kaage,

First of All thanks for the tutorial. Following your tutorial, I added the qemu image and saved, Image also appeared into Qemu Host images list.

While adding a qemu image in gns3 its giving me an error message i don't know what to do, I have added the snapshots of the error messages. Please help



Thanks in Advance
Kishore

It seems that you have some problem with starting Qemu. Try first to get Qemu settings correct from GNS3 preferences and try to press test button. After getting test successful you can try to use Microcore.

Unfortunately I'm not linux nor Qemu specialist so I can't help so much.

Hi kaage,

Yes you are right, I cannot start qemu and having problems to start qemu. To solve this
I had already created a post asking for help from other users, I m sure they would help me

This is the post i had created it will also be useful for you

Your tutorial for the linux microcore was a good one, Thanks for the tutorial I am sure that I can use linux microcore after solving the qemu problem.


Thanks and regards,
Kishore

Hello Kage,

It was very simple and straight forward tutorial. Very good i was trying DSL linux but it has lot problem. This is pretty robust i think.

Here after i can do lot of linux commands. I will just check what all i can do with microcore.

Praveen

This is all what is documented. What else would you like to have?

Hi Kaage,
I got everything working fine in windows except i can use only one linux microcore.img at a time. When this issue got solved means i can use as many as linux microcore.imges, Followed your link to configure qemu and downloaded the compiled version of qemu for windows

Hi Kaage,
Thanks for the tutorial I was able to get it running without a full understanding of what QEMU does. :-)

I use VPCS extensively to test connectivity and was looking into QEMU host to provide a more versatile testing system. For this purpose I have a couple of questions.

Can I have more than one PC simulated from a single host, in the same way I can simulate more that one router with a single image of IOS?

If this is not the case, how do I get multiple QEMU Linux hosts available for simulation.

Thanks again,

I don't think you can run multiple microcores from the same image since the image is basically a hard disk image. I know you can make multiple copies of the microcore image and run each image. I don't know if this can be done in GNS3 yet, I want to try. I keep getting a refused connection when I try to console to it. Whether I console with a terminal window using telnet 127.0.0.1 3000, or a right click in the GNS3 gui.
