[Qemu-devel] OS Circular on KVM/KQEMU/QEMU

[Kuniyasu Suzaki]

Hello,

We release the script for OS Circular on QEMU/KQEMU/KVM.  OS Circular
is Internet Disk Image Distributor for VM.
OS Circular depended on Xen-HVM and required the CPU which includes
virtualization extension(Intel-VT or AMD-SVM). The script enables to
run OS Circular on normal x86 CPU because it selects QEMU or KQEMU
when the CPU don't have virtualization extension.
The script is effective on VMKNOPPIX.
