I wanted to have a system for development and testing and since I found it to be a hassle to maintain multiple systems, I wanted to have a look at virtual machines for this. I recently got a core2 duo with 2 GB ram and intel motherboard. All I did was to follow this page and my virtual machine was ready. These are the exact steps.
1. I had F8 DVD extracted to /var/www/html/F8 of my laptop
2. Did a wget of F8/images/boot.iso
3. qemu-img create -f qcow2 4gb.img 4G
4. qemu -cdrom boot.iso -hda 4gb.img -m 256 -boot d
5. Selected http install, pointed to correct url, selected default layout, no desktop, devel + servers
Allowed the installation to take its own sweet time to finish
When it was over, I rebooted with 512MB RAM. I am now planning to get KQemu
