Install Windows 3.11 in QEMU
Overview
This skill provides procedural knowledge for installing and running Windows 3.11 in a QEMU virtual machine with VNC and web-based access. Windows 3.11 is a legacy 16-bit operating system that requires specific QEMU configuration for proper operation.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before starting, verify the following:
- Check for expected file paths and naming conventions - Tests or acceptance criteria may expect specific paths (e.g.,
/tmp/qemu-monitor.sockvs/tmp/monitor-socket). Review any test files or documentation first. - Identify the disk image location and format - Common locations include
/app/isos/or/var/lib/qemu/ - Determine QEMU version compatibility - If the image is known to work with a specific QEMU version, note any compatibility flags needed
