|

| 304 | <para>
|
|---|
| 305 | Since using qemu means using a virtual computer, the steps to set up
|
|---|
| 306 | the virtual machine are in close analogy with those to set up a real
|
|---|
| 307 | computer. You'll need to decide about CPU, memory, disk, USB devices,
|
|---|
| 308 | network card(s), screen size, etc. Once the <quote>hardware</quote> is
|
|---|
| 309 | decided, you'll have for example to choose how to connect the machine
|
|---|
| 310 | to internet, and/or to install an OS. In the following, we show basic
|
|---|
| 311 | ways of performing those steps. But qemu is much more than this, and it
|
|---|
| 312 | is strongly advised to read the qemu documentation in
|
|---|
| 313 | <filename>/usr/share/doc/qemu-&qemu-version;/qemu-doc.html</filename>.

| 539 | The above solution for networking allows the guest to access the local
|
|---|
| 540 | network through the host (and possibly to access internet through the
|
|---|
| 541 | local routers), but the converse is not true. Not even the host can
|
|---|
| 542 | access the guest, unless port forwarding is enabled. And in the case
|
|---|
| 543 | several guests are running, they cannot communicate with each other.
|
|---|
| 544 | Other network devices can be used for this purpose. For example, there
|
|---|
| 545 | is the <quote>socket</quote> device, which allows several guests to

| 548 | the guests to appear as if connected to the local network. All the
