How can I add properly Windows 2000 in EVE-NG?

[TurboC]

yesterday I tried to install in EVE-NG windows 2000 with these QEMU options suggested by wikipedia (https://wiki.qemu.org/Windows2000):

Code: Select all

-m 384 -boot c -vga cirrus -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usb -soundhw sb16 -localtime

unfortunately, after the installation, before to see the desktop, the system stucks. how can I solve this issue? if I try to install windows 2000 via QEMU in my Linux system, with the same QEMU options, it works. why in EVE-NG it doesn't work?

very old, not supported

very old, not supported

it's not possibile. EVE-NG runs on an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine and to emulate the network devices, it uses QEMU. this emulator support windows 2000 perfectly, infact I installed it with QEMU in Kubuntu without any kind of issue.

then use not EVE mate, we do not support drivers for win XP or 2000

you are wrong bro, Windows XP works very well in EVE-NG, and let me say, it's like a glove! low requirments, low CPU levels, .. wonderful!

you maybe can ask if we support win95

I already tried but it stucks during the installation with an error message, ahah.. I wanted to use Windows 2000 just to use the Cisco ACS 4.2. the old systems allow you to have a powerful lab environment with a very low system requirments, and why not, you can also have fun with DOS attacks against them, just for schooling and study the old security attacks.

are you a developer? it's my opinion of course, but I really don't understand why you don't support the old operating systems, after all QEMU works with them, so where is the problem?

I'll try to install Windows 2000, as I already made for Windows XP, but if you can, consider the idea to support it. I like EVE-NG but it could be better.

Answer is NO
XP and 2000 will not be supported by EVE
