+             The environment in which QEMU launches varies depending on the filesystem image and on the 
+             target architecture.  For example, if you source the environment for the ARM target 
+             architecture and then boot the minimal QEMU image, the emulator comes up in a new 
+             shell in command-line mode.  However, if you boot the SDK image QEMU comes up with 
+             a GUI.
