Disk Images with Pre-installed Systems
We are trying to collect a minimal hard disk or floppy disk image for all
free supported operating systems that Bochs can run.
Please don't use the System and VGA Bioses contained in the tarballs,
as they are outdated.
More info...
WARNING: Some disk images have not been updated recently, so some Bochsrc
hacking might be required.
Other disk images are available from the
file section of the Bochs pages
on SourceForge
