[Bochs-developers] mulinux image for bochs

[William mcEwan]

Hello

I recently created an mulinux image (booting from freedos via loadlin)
for bochs. I intend supplying this to my students to help them practice
linux. It is a fairly complete mulinux with all the X stuff
(unconfigured) and gcc compiler etc. If it is useful to you I will
happily upload it to you - just tell me to where (I don't have suitable
storage here). The image is about 11 MByte compressed (either .zip or
.tar.gz) and 32 MByte uncompressed. I have also produced a short readme
for it the contents of which are below.

Cheers

mulinux for Bochs readme follows:

"FreeDOS/mulinux v13r2 (loadlin+loop) bochs disk image prepared by:

FreeDOS (GNU GPL) home page: www.freedos.org.
mulinux itself is (C) M.Andreoli but redistributable under the terms of
the GNU GPL (home page: http://sunsite.dk/mulinux)

The mulinux loop image contains the mulinux boot, root, usr, srv, wks,
X11 and gcc images. Yes you can compile "Hello world!" C program on it!
Haven't tried configuring X here, but I installed the required files
incase it interests anyone.

Uncompress the bochmu.img disk image into the same folder as bochs.exe,
start.bat, bochsrc.txt, bochsout.txt, BIOS-bochs-latest and
VGABIOS-elpin-2.40 (or modify bochsrc.txt to the relevant paths).
Double click the start batch file to get it going. When asked in
mulinux, fast boot (choice 1) is suggested unless you don't mind a VERY
long time answering all the reconfiguration questions... The 11 MByte
compressed image is about 32 MB when uncompressed."

I have copied the mulinux disk image to SourceForge at this URL
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochsmu.zip?download
It is an 11meg download. I'm looking forward to trying it.
