+You can switch to a next floppy disk during installation with this command:
+<code>
+virsh change-media msdos-test /dos/Disk1.img /dos/Disk2.img
+</code>
+===== Windows 98 =====
+Note that not all Windows 98 CD-ROMS are bootable. Most require a boot floppy. However, [[https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-98/98-second-edition|the OEM version of Windows 98 SE]] is bootable.

+You need to connect to the guest before 10 seconds have passed to choose the correct boot option. If that is too short, then you can temporarily suspend the guest immediately after the virt-install command, connect via VNC, then resume the guest.
+Also, multiple reboots may be required to install this OS. You may need to set the CDROM as boot device for longer than just the first boot.
+===== Windows XP =====
+<code>
+virt-install \
+--virt-type kvm \
+--name windowsxp-test \
+--cdrom /WindowsXP.iso \
+--os-variant winxp \
+--graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0,password=foobar \

+--memory 2048 \
+--network model=rtl8139,network=bridged

+Special about this case, is that we use the ''winxp'' os variant, and the rtl8139 network adapter. The i1000 network adapter does not seem to be supported by default.
