-Download and uncompress a PC hard disk image with Linux installed (e.g.
-``linux.img``) and type:
-
-.. parsed-literal::
-
-   |qemu_system| linux.img
-
-Linux should boot and give you a prompt.

-Users should be aware the above example elides a lot of the complexity
-of setting up a VM with x86_64 specific defaults and assumes the
-first non switch argument is a PC compatible disk image with a boot
-sector. For a non-x86 system where we emulate a broad range of machine
-types, the command lines are generally more explicit in defining the
-machine and boot behaviour. You will find more example command lines
-in the :ref:`system-targets-ref` section of the manual.
