Also installs virt-manager.

../configure --enable-slirp

M1 Air nproc shows 8 cores, so using it as option -j8 here:

make -j8

sudo make install

Networking examples for various OS

ReactOS with networking

https://reactos.org

wget reactos-32bit-bootcd-nightly.7z

7z x reactos-32bit-bootcd-nightly.7z

mv reactos*.iso ReactOS.iso

20G is max growable disk size here:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 ReactOS.qcow2 20G

Here -m 3G is 3 GB RAM.

Edit start.sh and set it executeable chmod +x start.sh with this content:

qemu-system-i386 -m 3G -drive if=ide,index=0,media=disk,file=ReactOS.qcow2 \
-drive if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom,file=ReactOS.iso -boot order=d \
-serial stdio -netdev user,id=n0 -device rtl8139,netdev=n0

Then run ./start.sh
