+
+Welcome, This document is for getting you started in a few minutes.
+
+1. Install Qemu for Windows
+
+    The executable can be downloaded from
+    <http://free.oszoo.org/ftp/qemu/win32/release/> Doble click on the
+    installer and follow the instructions.
+
+2. Obtain Qemu image 
+
+    * Debian GNU/Hurd qemu image can be downloaded from
+        <http://www.numenor.art.pl/balrog/hurd/>, but also see the main
+        [[QEMU]] page.
+    * Uncompress the image and rename it to debian-hurd-for-qemu.img (.img is
+        the only thing that matters, you can chose any name) Note: .img is for
+        QEMUMenu.bat, which saves you from remembering the command line options
+        of qemu and helps you change the settings (like chosing different
+        images, allocating RAM for the guest OS ...) interactivly.
+    * Copy this file to the directory where you installed Qemu.
+
+3. Start Qemu
+
+    Double click the QEMUMenu.bat and enter the number to chose between images.
+
+4. Qemu short cuts
+
+    * ctrl alt - to exit grab from qemu, get mouse cursor out from the qemu
+        window
+    * ctrl alt f - full screen
+    * ctrl alt 2 - qemu contrl console, use this to change devices
+        (eg. changing cdrom), send keys to the guest (for example if you want
+        to send ctrl alt del to the guest type "sendkey ctrl-alt-del" ... type
+        "help" for a listing of all the options.
+    * ctrl alt 1 - Hurd login console
+
+## QEmu Image Hangs on Boot
+The Debian GNU/Hurd K16 QEmu image hangs during the boot process. You may have better luck by converting the image to qcow format
+
+    ..\qemu-0.9.0-x86\qemu-img.exe convert debian-hurd-k16-qemu.img -O
+    qcow debian-hurd-k16-qemu.qcow
+    ..\qemu-0.9.0-x86\qemu.exe -L ..\qemu-0.9.0-x86 -m 512 -hda
+    debian-hurd-k16-qemu.qcow -localtime -M pc
