Here is a super short addition you might want to add to the

b)

Install from a downloaded iso file:

{{{
qemu -hda mylinux.raw -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -net user -m 256
}}}

c)

Run the installation:

{{{
qemu -hda mylinux.raw -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot c -net user -m 256
}}}

- your step (a) and QuickStartGuide step 2: creation of blank disk image:

qemu-img create -f qcow c.img 3G

- your step (b) and QuickStartGuide step 3b: suppose you have an install iso image, called my_os_install.iso. Then run:

qemu -cdrom my_os_install.iso -hda c.img -m 256 -boot d

Let us keep the QuickStartGuide simple and easy and don't explain every possible variant. For this anybody can use
