Setting up Bochs

Introduction

Today’s post is just a short one on the installation of the virtual machine Bochs within a Debian environment.

Procedure

# Install Bochs using your package manager
sudo apt-get install bochs

# Install the X11 and sdl plugin for Bochs
sudo apt-get install bochs-x bochs-sdl

Finally, make sure that your machines are using SDL as the display library by adding this line to your .bochsrc

files:display_library: sdl

That’s it for today.
