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  interactive 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 interactive 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.
