You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
- FAQ - sound question: added FreeBSD to the list of supported platforms

- replaced reference to sound.html (old docs) by a reference to the
"sb16-emulation" section
- compiling instructions for BeOS updated

was buried at the end of the section and hard to find before.
- fix section issue for sb16
- fix typo in pit description
with scp and then log in and gunzip it on the shell server. This speeds
up "make webinst" quite a bit.
- add "make dl_docs" which downloads a bochsdoc.tar.gz from the web site.
This will be used to grab the rendered documentation for platforms that
do not have docbook tools. (Most don't.)
- stop installing "README" because depending on where you put it, it can
overwrite the main README.
authors. If someone has contributed a section, we would give them credit in
that section. If they write enough sections, we can take out the
section-by-section credits and list them as an author.
make install it will build the docbook documentation and install it
into $(prefix)/share/doc/bochs. If it is not specified, then it will
be enabled only if the program "docbook2html" is found in your path.
- this completes [ 652957 ] install docbook docs instead of HTML
Modified Files:
Makefile.in configure configure.in doc/docbook/Makefile.in
- only rebuild docbook stuff when the source is newer
- add install target
- allow $SFUSER environment variable to define the sf username, instead of
hardcoding the user->sfuser translations in the makefile.
- now alldocs is called index.html
- add dist-clean target
- move DOC-linux.html into the docbook in a section called "Quick Start for
Linux Users", and removed all references to the DOC-linux file that I could
find. Most of the text has been moved into the Linux RPM section. Parts
that did not fit into the docbook are now in doc/docbook/misc.txt.
- put vga.pcf into INSTALL_LIST_X11 so that it's only installed when
you configure with --with-x11.
- transfer section on VGA font installation from docs-html into user guide
- remove RCS id from screen shots within user guide, since they are changed
to the revision info of user.dbk.

- it used to list the options that were enabled in .conf.win32-vcpp, but I
removed it. It was out of date, and it's unlikely to stay in sync
with the file even if I fix it now.

- add comment about installing Windows XP
- descripton of bochsrc option "user_shortcut" updated
- bios names in the bochsrc sample updated
- FAQ question: cdrom is supported on BeOS, too
- the default for the cdrom support is "yes"
- the default for the e9 hack is "yes"
- serial port UART name is 16450
- fixed a typo (PPC)
This information was quite obsolete. Anything useful in here should be
merged into the documentation some day. It certainly should not be
sitting in the main directory where it might confuse people.

to the host and the internet without any extra effort (this was wrong
before).
