== Pidora QEMU Compose ==
Using Pidora in a QEMU environment has some important restrictions to note. The model that is used to emulate Pidora has a hard coded restriction on how much ram RAM it can use(256mb256 MB). The programs we use(livemedia-creator) for composing new images require much more ramRAM, which makes the Pidora QEMU Environment a bad place to try and create images. (See compose on Fedora Arm QEMU)
= Pidora QEMU Setup =
The two stages to setting up Pidora QEMU involve, getting all the files(kernel, image) and installing the QEMU environment.
== Getting The Files ==
If the above package does not allow you to boot Pidora through QEMU, you can try the manual instructions below. This will allow you to use the QEMU software without actually installing it on your system(I don't like installing source files that are not managed by yum).
The manual compile will require the dependencies for the program to already be installed. Below is a list of packages that might be required(I think only the devel ones are needed?).
<pre>
# Install Dependencies(not sure if the non-devel packages are required?)
yum install gcc-++ zlib zlib-devel SDL SDL-devel pixman pixman-devel libfdt-devel libtool glib2 glib2-devel
</pre>
