+In the past several tweaks were necessary to install a guest OS inside of Bochs.
+Nowadays it's almost the same as installing it on a real machine. There are only
+a few Bochs specific issues you should know about. Note that we cannot give you
+a full installation guide if you don't know how to install an OS in the real
+world. The following remarks apply to all guest OS installations. Some specific
+issues are reported in the next sections.

+First of all you need the installation media or image (floppy/CD/DVD).
+For platforms that don't support raw device access it might be necessary to
+create an image from the media. You must read the message regarding software
+licenses in <xref linkend="thirdparty"> before you install or use a commercial
+guest operating system in Bochs.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Then you need to create a hard drive image with bximage. For the
+required size see the documentation of the OS you'd like to install. See
+<xref linkend="using-bximage"> how to create the image.
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Finally you have to create configuration for your guest OS. You can
+edit the sample configuration distributed with Bochs or use the configuration
+interface to adjust the settings. Check the documentation of your guest OS for
+the required memory size, cpu speed and supported hardware.
+</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+Now you should be able to run Bochs and start the installation process. Depending
+on the host cpu speed and the size of the guest OS it can take a few minutes or
+even some hours.
