A.5. Using a Simulator

A completely different approach to running MINIX 3 is to run it on top of another operating system instead of native on the bare metal. Various virtual machines, simulators, and emulators are available for this purpose. Some of the most popular ones are:

• VMware (www.vmware.com)

• Bochs (www.bochs.org)

• QEMU (www.qemu.org)

See the documentation for each of them. Running a program on a simulator is similar to running it on the actual machine, so you should go back to Part I and acquire the latest CD-ROM and continue from there.
