Starting the virtual machine is quite simple. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory that you unzipped from myweb.zip. Then, double-click the batch file named myweb.bat. This should start the emulator and the virtual machine should show a boot screen. Enter live persistent in the boot screen prompt. This step causes the virtual server use persistent.img as a simulated hard disk for the file system. If you forget this step, then the virtual server uses a RAM disk for its file system, which means it cannot retain any content after the virtual machine exits!
Once the bootstrap process is done, you should see a command line prompt for a user called user. Note that the bootstrap process may take a while, and it may stay at the “squashfs: version...” screen for a long time, especially if you don’t install kqemu.
Once you get to the command prompt, you can use the virtual machine as any other Linux machine with a command line interface. However, you can also “connect” to the virtual server using SSH.
