NAME
       bximage_old - Interactive Disk Image Creator for Bochs

SYNOPSIS
       bximage_old [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       The  legacy  version  of 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  parame‐
       ters 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 inter‐
	      active 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.
