+title: "Bochs"
+subtitle: "In two versions"
+tags: [osdev]
+
+For testing out my os during development, I usually use
+[Bochs](http://bochs.sourceforge.net)
+
+I also usually compile Bochs into two versions. One that has the debugger
+option enabled and one that runs entirely in a command line environment.
+
+Let's go!
+
+	curl -L -O http://sourceforge.net/projects/bochs/files/bochs/2.5.1/bochs-2.5.1.tar.gz 
+	tar -zxvf bochs-2.5.1.tar.gz 
+	mkdir build-bochs 
+	cd build-bochs
+	
+	../bochs-2.5.1/configure --enable-smp --enable-cpu-level=6 --enable-all-optimizations --enable-pci --enable-vmx --enable-logging --enable-fpu --enable-sb16=dummy --enable-cdrom --disable-plugins --disable-docbook --with-term 
+	make all 
+	make install
+{: .prettyprint .lan-sh}
+
+And that's the terminal version.  ### Important note This configure line won't
+actually work. I'll update with the new one as soon as I can.
+
+Now we move this to *bochs-term* and compile the version with the debugger.
+
+	mv /usr/local/bin/bochs /usr/local/bin/bochs-term
+	
+	rm * 
+	../bochs-2.5.1/configure --enable-smp --enable-cpu-level=6 --enable-all-optimizations --enable-pci --enable-vmx --enable-logging --enable-fpu --enable-sb16=dummy --enable-cdrom --disable-plugins --disable-docbook --enable-debugger --enable-disasm --with-x11 
+	make all 
+	make install
+{: .prettyprint .lan-sh}
+
+Finally, copy the bochs bioses to a public place
+
+	cp -r ../bochs-2.5.1/bios /usr/share/bochs
+{: .prettyprint .lan-sh}
+
+And that's it.
