 Brian,

Hi Pierre,

 Sorry if Bochs is already known; but, this just hit the wires...
 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6013

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on what hardware you are
running on), Bochs does not use processor virtualization but rather
emulation.  That means the speed sucks, compared to something like
plex86 or vmware.  Sadly it looks (from all appearances) that plex86
has died.  :-(

 live/online install would be nice.

 This is how I have been operating for a long time now too.  I think I
 have a lot of cruft now (old libs not in use anymore and not obsoleted
 by the same libs with newer version numbers in the name as in:
 
 libgal11-0.11.2-3mdk
 libgal12-0.12-1mdk
 libgal15-0.15-1mdk
 libgal18-0.18.1-1mdk
 libgal19-0.19-2mdk)

We CAN't obsolete libraries, just to remove them.. This would mean a new
library would provide binary compatibility with old one and it is not the
case...

and I obviously have a very rare incidence of Galeon/Mozilla haning
that seems to escape diagnosis.
