Has anyone had much success with bochs? The software I paid dearly for, vmware 4.5, is already ending it's lifespan and, no doubt, will not be long before it doesn't work with linux anymore. I tried bochs a few years back and was unable to get it to install an operating system. At that time, it kept saying I didn't have a cd inserted and it couldn't install. It was wearisome and after a number of very late nights, I gave up in utter frustration, despite the promise the program seemed to show. Now bochs is up to 2.2 (almost). Would this make a good replacement for vmware for the home user who uses it maybe once every few weeks, only to run corel photopaint 9? I would like to install windows xp on it.
