NAME

6       bximage - Interactive Disk Image Creator for Bochs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bximage [options] [filename]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Bximage   is  an  easy  to  use  console  based  tool for creating disk
13       images, particularly  for  use with  Bochs.  It   is completely  inter‐
14       active  if no command  line arguments  are used.  It can be switched to
15       a non-interactive mode if all required parameters are given in the com‐
16       mand line.
17

OPTIONS

19       When  you  run  bximage  without  one of the following options, it will
20       appear  in  interactive  mode and  ask   for  all  required  parameters
21       to create an image.
22
23       -fd    Create a floppy image.
24
25       -hd    Create a hard disk image.
26
27       -mode=...
28              Image  mode  (for  hard  disks only - see the bochsrc sample for
29              supported options).
30
31       -size=...
32              Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10 for hard
33              disk image).
34
35       -q     Quiet   mode  (don't prompt for user input). Without this option
36              bximage uses the  command  line parameters as defaults  for  the
37              interactive  mode.  If  this  option  is  given  and  one of the
38              required parameters is missing, bximage will fall back to inter‐
39              active mode.
40
41       --help Print   a  summary  of  the command line options for bximage and
42              exit.
43
44       The filename parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
