docs/qemu: reformat 2017-03-06 10:26:58 -08:00
Michael Ledin ded2693ee7
Add floppy size limitation notice.
Should help people dealing with #4570 and #3328 because packer copies
`floppy_files` to floppy without any error even if they exceed 1.44 MB
limit. `floppy_dirs`throws error about FAT size limit exceeded but
without mentioning that real issue is the floppy size limit:
```
Build 'qemu' errored: Error adding path virtio_iso to floppy: FAT FULL
```

Add "iso_target_extension" option for all local *-iso builders
This option allows to set the extension of the ISO file after download.
Defaults to "iso". It makes sense for building Mac OS X guests, where the
bootable image is actually a DMG, not an ISO.
In particular, it is important for "parallels-iso" builder to set the right extension.

compatibility.

JF Bibeau 529090aaa7 Docs: add QCOW2 format support for `iso_url`
Took some digging to realize that `iso_url` can actually take in a qcow2 or img format. This is fantastic and works great out of the box. I feel like adding the extra 2 lines of docs will help future users looking for this.

Taliesin Sisson a87ad05866 Add support for ctrl, shift and alt keys.
Add support for using ctrl, shift and alt as key modifiers. So you can now achieve ctrl+c by using "<leftCtrlOn>c<leftCtrlOff>".

Updated documentation for new key stroke tokens.

Ian Duffy fa273f3bea Allow configurable VNC bind IP for QEMU
This commit allows for a user configurable VNC bind IP to be used for
QEMU.

By default this will be 127.0.0.1, alternatively, a user can use
0.0.0.0 which will bind to all interfaces.

This pull request should satisfy concerns of #3570 and #3559. It is
also in-line with the functionality provided by #3566 and #3565
