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.
