NAME

       bximage - Interactive Disk Image Creator for Bochs

SYNOPSIS

       bximage [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       Bximage	 is an easy to use console based tool for creating disk  images, particularly  for  use with  Bochs.  It   is completely  interac-
       tive if no command  line arguments  are used.  It can be switched to a non-interactive mode if all required parameters  are  given  in  the
       command line.

OPTIONS

       When  you  run bximage without one of the following options, it will  appear  in  interactive  mode and	ask   for  all required parameters
       to create an image.

       -fd    Create a floppy image.

       -hd    Create a hard disk image.

       -mode=...
	      Image mode (for hard disks only - see the bochsrc sample for supported options).

       -size=...
	      Image size in megabytes (e.g. 1.44 for floppy image, 10 for hard disk image).

       -q     Quiet  mode (don't prompt for user input). Without this option bximage uses the  command	line parameters as defaults for the inter-
	      active mode. If this option is given and one of the required parameters is missing, bximage will fall back to interactive mode.

       --help Print  a	summary  of  the command line options for bximage and exit.

       The filename parameter specifies the name of the image to be created.
