Qemu, another Virtual Machine to run Olive

If you get stucked installing Olive in your PC with virtual machine like VMWare, you can try qemu as your alternative Virtual Machine (VM). Qemu is originally a BSD packet written by Fabrice Bellard. Its is licensed under GNU LGPL when you run it under BSD. If you run the Windows version, the proprietary FMOD library is usually used, which disqualifies it for a single, unified, Open Source software license.
Fabrice Bellard also wrote a Linux kernel kernel module (with preliminary ports to FreeBSD and Windows) named KQEMU or QEMU Accelerator, which notably speeds up i386 emulation on i386 platforms. This is accomplished by running user mode code directly on the host computer's CPU, and using processor and peripheral emulation only for kernel mode and real mode code. KQEMU also supports a kernel emulation mode in which portions of kernel mode code run on the host's CPU.
To install and run Olive under Qemu on your machine, these are packages needed:
- Qemu for Windows at http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/
- Kqemu accelerator at http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/Kqemu-1.3.0pre11-install.exe
- OpenVPN to create TAP interface at http://openvpn.net/download.html
- JunOS at http://www.juniper.net (user login needed). Use JunOS version older than JunOs-7.4 then you can upgrade into current version after successful Olive installation.
- FreeBSD. I'm using mini version of FreeBSD since only few packet needed.
- Jqemu. This is modification of Qemu. (version with the good Intel driver : i82559er)
   http://www.netemu.cn/bbs/thread-5225-1-1.html. Login needed.
- HW-VSP3. This is emulator to console port. Get it at http://www.hw-group.com/products/hw_vsp/index_en.html

Ok, tell me when you ready with those packets ;)
