One way to try out V7/x86, if you do not have a suitable PC on
which to install it, is to run it under a PC emulator. Two suitable
emulators are Bochs and
QEMU.
The V7/x86 demo image does not contain the /usr/doc and
/usr/src files, but is otherwise fairly complete. Download size
is under two megabytes.
The image itself is 42336 sectors in size, with suggested disk
geometry 42/16/63. Using it under Bochs would entail editing the
.bochsrc file to contain a line similar to the following:
ata0-master: type=disk, mode=flat, path="v7x86-demo.img", cylinders=42, heads=16, spt=63
QEMU setup would be along similar lines.
Download the V7/x86 demo image: v7x86-demo.img.bz2.
The image file is compressed with bzip2 and will require bunzip2 to
decompress it. |
