>Whether Bochs works for you depends on your host hardware, host operating
|
|
system, guest operating system, guest software, and your ability to work in
|
|
a command-line environment using documentation. There is no gui or wizard
|
|
to help you through the setup process. You do not get a recovery or installation
|
|
disk to assist you in the process of installing a guest operating system.
|
|
Bochs only provides you with the "virtual hardware", and it is up to you to do the rest.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Bochs will run on Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or BeOS.
|
|
If you are running on x86 hardware, you have a range of choices.
|
|
Check the installation section for your host platform to see what options
|
|
Bochs supports on your platform. If the most important factor is speed,
|
|
you may want to try a virtualization product instead of Bochs (VMware, plex86).</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>If you are using a non-x86 machine, then Bochs is one of the few choices for
|
|
running x86 software. Bochs has been known to work on Solaris (Sparc),
|
|
GNU/Linux (PowerPC/Alpha), MacOS (PowerPC), IRIX (MIPS), BeOS (PowerPC), Digital
|
|
Unix (Alpha), and AIX (PowerPC).</P
