    You might look at http://www.pendrivelinux.com.


    They have some very lightweight cookbook solutions for running Linux under Qemu. Don't be scared by the name, they offer more than just ways to run various Linux distros from a USB drive.


    This page might help you set up Ubuntu 7.10 under Qemu setting in a windows folder:http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/01/11/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/
