💅 bochs-dlx — the manual page, but make it slay

okay so real talk: this is the page for bochs-dlx(1) from The Bochs Project, and it's genuinely one of the most babygirl little scripts in the whole emulator ecosystem. Let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

bochs-dlx — runs DLX-Linux under the Bochs x86 Emulator. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

🌸 USAGE 🌸

bochs-dlx

no literally, no command line arguments are accepted. none. zero. don't try it bestie, the vibes are locked 🔒

if you require adjustments to the normal runtime parameters, do this instead:

  • edit /usr/local/share/bochs/dlxlinux/bochsrc.txt, or
  • run bochs(1) directly

iykyk — this thing is a wrapper, not a whole personality 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bochs-dlx is a shell script that runs a sample 10Mbyte disk image of DLX Linux inside Bochs. ✨

and like… that's the whole point: bochs-dlx is simple by design so that it is possible to try out Bochs without learning how to configure it first. not me being the tutorial level of emulation 😭👑
