Sorry, Darren and Liming: I have one more question about this. Liming,
correct me if I am wrong, but you mentioned that the only files that can
be run on the qemu emulator are ext2 and ext3. But Darren's answer seems
to suggest that you can also run hddimg and iso files in the qemu emulator.
Is this correct, or am I getting totally confused?
Thanks!!

It sounds like we should keep things as they are, and that we'll need a
screen that gives you options to both run and deploy an image when you
have built for qemu selecting image types ext2 or ext3 and live.

Hi all,
The current Hob allows you to build images for a qemu machine selecting
'live' as your image type. To me (with my pitiful knowledge) this
doesn't
make much sense: would I want to deploy an image built for a
virtualisation environment in a real piece of hardware?
So here goes a question: should we allow Hob users, who are mainly
people
new to the Yocto project, to select the 'live' image type when building
images for qemu machines?
In my opinion: YES. The reason is that this allows you to test the live
image format and the boot mechanism on virtualized hardware. This is a
valuable development tool.

This might sound like a silly question, but it has a pretty big impact
on
the Settings dialog and on the number of variations we need to create
for
our 'Image details' screen, which appears after the build finishes and
displays logical next steps (like run the image or deploy your image to
external storage).
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
