A useful source of Arm VM images is the UTM hypervisor for Apple Silicon Macs: https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ The bundles contain a disc image that will run via QEMU or virt-manager - it uses Apple's hypervisor kit on Macs, while on Linux you can use KVM. That way they are already set up to boot in QEMU. If you have a Mac, importing the VM into UTM will also tell you the flags it runs QEMU with, which could be handy for setting up video etc. The details are in the .plist file which would need transcribing to QEMU flags if you don't have a Mac. (QEMU will also run the non-ARM64 images, just you have to run them via qemu-system-x86_64 or whatever, and they'll be emulated and slower) Theo --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
