More notes:

o Since I accidentally overwrote my grimdoze "virtual
disk" file after it finished installing last night, I
decided to move my installation CD image file to
another physical disk, seperate from where the virtual
disk is. I  thought this might speed things up. Turns
out I should have actually looked at disk I/O before I
did that. Bochs seems to be much, much more
bottlenecked by CPU than disk during this install.
Disk I/O is not something that one should worry about
probably.

o Tried compiling the latest snapshot available on the
website this morning and failed. This was on lyenooks.
It complained about so many things I don't even know
where to begin.

o Noticed that once you have an installed OS on a
virtual disk file, you can transport this file around
to whatever bochs install you want on whatever host OS
you have. Just be sure to keep your geometry for the
file out of your rc file. This is quite convenient,
especially if this file will fit on a CD-RW or DVD-RW
for easy transport. I don't think the commercial
emulators will do this.

o Seems like the doc for this thing is very old. There
is newer doc if you go to doc/docbook/index.html. I'm
not sure what the current state of development is for
this?

o The importance of this project can only grow with
time I think. I'm guessing IA-32 is going to hang
around in some form for a LONG time. This project
helps with that.
