I found bochs to be exceedingly difficult to use compared to other alternatives, such as virtualbox-ose, which runs fantastically and is fairly simple to use. Note that virtualization isn't suitable for gaming, and odds are high you can probably get it done easier in wine instead of wasting space on a whole windows install. -- Paul Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
