Should be a good alternative to Virtual PC, since its free.

Heya, I got Bochs working, I just need for apex to get back home so he can show me how those handy dandy new installers work. I haven't really been able to test it out - as i have no way of trying it with a Windows image. If you know where i can get a disk image w/ windows on it so i can try it out, let me know.

The apple installer is pretty simple unless you want to throw in custom configs. It's kinda lame that it won't take two sources as optional files like (.fat or .ppc). Unless someone figured that one out. Hey, while you're compiling binaries I noticed gnu automake and autoconf are up here. How about adding M4 to the collection?

Just a quick question: I compiled bochs a few days ago, without any modifications to the source or anything (I simply typed "./configure" and "make"). However the size of my binary and the one from this site differ. What modifications did you make?

Heh, now I'm surely gonna make log files with the changes I make when trying to build stuff...

Does "pthreads" say you anything in relation to this build of Bochs?

BTW Have you been able to run BeOS on it? The Win95 install was no prob, albeit wheeely long, but BeOS keeps killing the emulator. Maybe I should ask the Bochs developers...
