CU!

http://kolibrios.org/en/download.htm if anyone once to help me set up kolibri os with qemu xD
qemu-i386 runs in user-mode, meaning that the only thing it does is translate instructions from one architecture to another; this means that software such as wine can be run, but it will run on the same kernel and hardware you are currently running.
qemu-system-i386 emulates a whole set of harware, so you can 'boot' the virtual machine from the floppy image and it will run its own OS on virtualized hardware.

Hope that helps
