  In "cmd.exe" you can run qemu command after (qemu) promput.
  KNOPPIX run as a normal KNOPPIX in QEMU Monitor. KNOPPIX can boot without option but we recomment to use light desktop manager (Ex. wmaker) becuase QEMU is slow. Screen size is also desiable to use small size (Ex. 800x600). The default language of Japanese KNOPPIX is Japanese. Please designate "lang=us" if you want to use English.
  boot: knoppix lang=us screen=800x600 desktop=wmaker
  QEMU Monitor keeps the control of mouse but you can escape by "shift + Control".
  
  
• It takes time to boot. QEMU Monitor will extend.
  
  
  
• After desktop manger start, it is normal KNOPPIX. When waker is used, you can open menu with right click.
  
  
• Internet is available.
  
  
  

Delete

• No uninstallation because "knoppix-qemu.bat" deosn't use hard disk.
