virtualization of OpenMoko...

I currently am new to Linux. I currently use Ubuntu Linux (fawn). I tried to get Qemu running with OpenMoko, but it fails (need for SDL or Cocoa)...
As Ubuntu is one of the most used Linux-Distros, I thought a walktrhough (starting @ 0) might be a nice idea, to get a mass introduced to OpenMoko.

Win32 binaries shipped with firmware can be downloaded from
openmoko-emulator-win32-bin-20070514.zip. Tested on MS Windows XP.
