I am playing with QEMU. Here I found some prebuilt OS images:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/starting-images.html
But they are all meant for a 64-bit system while my system is 32 bit. Does anyone know if there is any 32-bit prebuilt image online?
So I can directly use them and not need to bother with the installation.
Thanks.
A quick Google search revealed the following (I have not tried any of them):
Also, you can use vmbuilder(referred here as ubuntu-vmbuilder) to quickly create Ubuntu images to KVM, VirtualBox, etc.
As a last resort, you can use qemu-img command to convert disk images from VirtualBox/VMware to a format more suited to QEMU/KVM (this may not be needed: I think QEMU/KVM can work with other image types like vdi or vmdk).
$ qemu-img convert -f [vdi|vmdk|...] -O qcow2 OriginalImage NewImage
NOTE: If you are using a 32bit OS you cannot run 64bit virtual machines with KVM. But QEMU is an emulator, so it should let you run 64bit vm's on a 32bit operating system. But the performance overhead will probably be huge!
