Hi Martin, There is a script that comes with the source called "createdisk.sh". That will create a file and load a master boot record at the beginning. This file will become your hard disk. There are instructions in createdisk.README on how to set it up. In your configuration file, you pass to plex86 the location and geometry of your new disk, and it works. There is no need for re-partitioning.
There are some images with pre-installed OSs that you can use, but I installed my own guest os so I am not sure how they work. Presumably you could install a guest OS using a file mounted in loopback, but make sure that you delete (losetup -d /dev/loop0) the loopback before starting plex86. --Sam On Thu, 24 Jan 2002, Martin Quinson wrote: > Hello, > > I'm sorry to ask such an obvious question, but I failed to find the answer > in the documentation: > > Does plex86 work with a pre-installed OS on another partition, or do I have > to install the guest OS in a file mounted in loopback ? > > Thanks, Mt. >
