Finis This Page Intentionally Left Blank INTRODUCTION Howdy everyone! Welcome to the world of Rhapsody OS, where confusion and mayhem are bound to happen… if you were not smart enough to download this handsomely put together guide by yours truly. But, before we begin our adventure into the uncharted territory of this genuine DuhGuide, DuhGuide we must understand a few things. Firstly, remember that, even though Rhapsody OS has apparently disappeared of the face of this Earth, Rhapsody is NOT abandon-ware in the eyes of Apple Computer, Inc. You must own the original media if you wish to proceed in a legal fashion. If you don’t, you may want to find Rhapsody at eBay or a similar service of your choice. Otherwise, you may be in violation of copyright laws. Secondly, I cannot take responsibility for any consequential damages that may arise out of the use of Bochs, Rhapsody OS, or any other apps stated herein. So don’t even think of trying to sue me if your precious, Intel-powered bratwurst decides to take a trip down to Dante’s Inferno and become one with the dumpster. I have tested all of the software on various machines with no problems at all, so you should at least take my word for it. Last but not least, have fun! Don’t be afraid to leave a post on the InsanelyMac forums in the Beta section if you are stumped at all.

Once Bochs is up and running on your system, the directions afterward on this guide are rather universal, with the exception of a few changes that I will point out from time to time. 1. Start out by downloading the appropriate build of Bochs for your system at http://bochs.sourceforge.net. The current version as of this writing is v2.3.pre3. 2. Next, install it by running the executable. It will create a program group when it is finished. 3. Create images of your Rhapsody CD and install floppies. Store them in the Bochs directory. 4.
