Requirements:
+
* qemu-img (mostly part of the qemu package)
+
 
+
Steps:
+
 
+
* Download the i586 VM image release from [http://repository.maemo.org/meego/Nemo/ Releases] (nemo-handset-i586-vm-***.img)
+
* Convert the image to a usable hdd volume:
+
 
+
  qemu-img convert nemo-handset-i586-vm-0.20120614.1.NEMO.2012-07-02.1.img -O vmdk nemo.vmdk
+
 
+
* Create a new machine of type Linux/other and choose nemo.vmdk as existing hdd volume.
+
* Optional: Setup a network device in NAT mode
+
* Under Settings->System->Processor, enable Extended Features: Enable PAE/NX
+
* With current version 2012-01-05, you have to create a second hdd volume with at least 3 GB space and install Nemo on it.
+
* Start the machine and enjoy Nemo
+
 
+
Current problems:
+
* When booting Nemo directly from the Nemo image, X startup fails. Please do a installation on a new hdd volume first.
+
* No mouse cursor, you have to guess where it is. ;)
