How do you guys run JNode as you develop it?

I imagine that not everyone has VMWare licenses, so how do you folks run/develop JNode? For example if I wanted to start playing around with it and changing some code, how would you suggest I setup my dev environment to test my changes? I certainly don't want to reboot my machine every time, but I wouldn't mind firing up a VM shell or something.

On www.reactos.com is a link

On www.reactos.com is a link to QEMU ( http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ ). Its an emulator like Bochs, but is has dynamic compilation and therefore should be faster. Any experience with this product?

Has anyone experiences with f

As I understand, XEN does not virtualize a complete PC, so you have to access the hardware thru a special interface.

With one computer and an NT like (nt/me/xp) OS ...

If you have only one computer and windows nt/me/xp, you can also
run jnode from the windows boot menu. In this case, you don't need to have a cd writer.

Here is how to do

Another option is to use ReWritable CDs

You can use a ReWritable CD and burn your new jnode-iso image, and boot with it.

JNode Development Environment

The best/fastest way is to use two computers. 1 computer where you run your favorite host os like windows or linux and 1 computer to run jnode.

Connect them via a network and boot computer 2 over the network from a dhcp/tftp server running on computer 1. You can boot computer 2 from either a bootable network card, or from the jnode cd where you choose one of the dhcp options.

If you do not have a spare computer, vmware is very good, qemu is much slower, but it works, bochs is way to slow.

Hi,
I tried to run JNode on a Pentium 200Mhz with 64MB Ram, but failed.

P.S.: I think JNode needs much more Memory, about 200MB.
