Vditool Copyright (c) 2004-2005 InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH.Ĭonverting VDI: from DD image file="kde4daily.bin" to file="kde4daily.vdi".Ĭreating fixed image with size 3758096384 Bytes. $ qemu-img convert kde4daily-0_0_1_r734472-qcow.img kde4daily.bin Last but not least the image can be shrinked down a bit to only take the space it really needs: This raw format can be transformed to the VirtualBox compatible “vdi” type. This can be downloaded at VirtualBox’ homepage: save the following link by right click to some place on your hard disk: VirtualBox should be installed already as well.Īfterwards, the image can be converted via qemu to a raw format. Also, later on a tool called “vditool” is needed. In Fedora this can be done by yum install qemu, for example. To use the qemu image in VirtualBox, first of all qemu must be installed on the computer. I wanted to use it, but in contrast to qemu, VirtualBox comes along with a well designed GUI and is simply much more userfriendly (and of course also exists in a free version). However, often they are provided as a qemu image while VirtualBox is much more userfriendly.Ī good example for an important qemu image is KDE’s KDE 4 daily builds virtual machine. Virtual Machines are an easy way to provide new applications or even entire operating systems without the need to install or alter anything in an existing system.
