<section><p>So, in the <a href="/posts/linux-on-a-samsung-tab-2-7-inches">previous article</a> I installed postmarketOS on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7 inches), and I wanted to create a website on it. But I was encouraged to create my personal website on Azure, so in the end I didn’t install a web server on the tablet.</p>
|
||
<p>I was wondering what will be the performance of Qemu on my tablet, emulating a x86 processor on a ARM device, and I installed qemu in the tablet, in the first place:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo apk add qemu qemu-img qemu-system-i386
|
||
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Then I tried to run qemu directly from the console. Qemu has a built-in VNC server, so I was hoping to connect from my PC using TightVNC, but it was a complete failure, because I didn’t knew that postmarketOS has a firewall that I had to deal with. So, after hours of googling, I found that I could install a package that enables VNC access from the firewall without having to mess with configuration files:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo apk add -i postmarketos-config-nftables-vncserver
|
||
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Now I can run qemu, but I first <a href="https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-98/98-second-edition">downloaded Windows 98 SE</a> from WinWorldPC and unzipped the file containing the ISO file of the installation disk.</p>
|
||
<p>After that, I created a small (1 GB) hard disk image, because my tablet only has about 2 GB free on disk:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>qemu-img create -f qcow2 w98.qcow2 1G
|
||
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Now I can run the Windows Setup from qemu. I am emulating a machine with 64 MB of RAM, booting from CD-ROM:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>qemu-system-i386 -cdrom win98.iso -boot order<span style="color:#f92672">=</span>dc -drive file<span style="color:#f92672">=</span>w98.qcow2 -m <span style="color:#ae81ff">64</span>
|
||
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>The setup process was very slow, but I felt happy when the graphical setup started:</p>
|
||
<p><img src="/images/windows-98-qemu-01.png" alt="Windows 98 Setup starting"></p>
|
||
<p>After passing through the installation steps, I left the installer make its work:</p>
|
||
<p><img src="/images/windows-98-qemu-02.png" alt="Windows 98 Installing"></p>
|
||
<p>It is sad that only remains <strong>301 minutes</strong> for the installation to complete…</p>
