From dd5c449cbc547045aa057ee34f63c63a7d601ba2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bryce Denney Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 17:51:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] - rough draft of testing form, which people can fill out to report success or failure on different host OS/guest OS combinations. --- bochs/TESTFORM.txt | 113 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 113 insertions(+) create mode 100644 bochs/TESTFORM.txt diff --git a/bochs/TESTFORM.txt b/bochs/TESTFORM.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..176b6fa31 --- /dev/null +++ b/bochs/TESTFORM.txt @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +------------------------------------------------------------- +BOCHS TESTING FORM +------------------------------------------------------------- + +Because of the variety of platforms and configurations that Bochs +supports, it is difficult for any one person to test it thoroughly. +This form is intended to help the Bochs developers keep track of test +results from different sources. To avoid confusion, this form should +be submitted once for each combination of host OS and guest OS you +try. For example: your host OS is Debian Linux and you get both Win95 +and FreeDOS to start up. You would send one form for +Win95-under-Debian and a second form for FreeDOS-under-Debian. In +this case it would save time to fill in the host OS part, copy it a +few times and fill out the guest OS part for each copy. + +To fill in a blank such as [__], replace the underlines and leave +the brackets. Example: [Sun Ultrasparc 10]. To fill in a +multiple-choice, just put an X in the brackets.
