.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
When you run bochs without one of the following options, it
|
|
will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in
|
|
the current directory and your home directory and display
|
|
the start menu.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-q
|

With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading
|
|
the configuration file.

menu and use the specified configuration file.
|
|

|
|

bochsrc file. If you have any spaces in your command line
|
|
arguments, they should be enclosed in single quotes.
