Running Win2K in Qemu

I need to build a Python package for installation on Windows using distutils but I run Linux.. so I thought I'd try Qemu.

I built a disk image for Qemu using qemu-image, made an ISO from a Win2K CD and then installed win2k in a window on my main linux machine. All went well and the whole thing was installed in a couple of hours. Then I tried to run Windows Update. Boom.. gone. Hm.. maybe I'll try XP.
