Try resetting the device

or, at least, telling us what the app name.

some apps are command line only

He stated the name of the app in his thread title

I installed this either, I think it is indeed a command line app

installing a software without knowing how to use or what it does? 0.o strange... What if it's a malware or anything?

I tried out bochs x86 PC emulator on N900 the other day. Here's what I did to install a freedos image in bochs. Just some things you should know to start off:-
bochs file locations
bochs binaries are located here:

Code:

/opt/bochs/bin

bios images, vgabios images, keymaps are located here:

Code:

/opt/bochs/share/bochs/

docs, readme, changes, bochsrc configuration file sample are located here:

Code:

/opt/bochs/share/doc/bochs/

suggested location for disc images (based on the sample bochsrc file disc images are to be placed here, you create this folder yourself):

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/bochs

How to setup a disc image for use in bochs x86 pc emulator using FreeDOS as an example
1. Download the ready made FreeDOS image to your PC from
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html
2. Extract the contents of freedos-img.tar.gz and you should have four files: a.img, b.img, c.img, bochsrc
3. Open bochsrc in a text viewer on your PC
4. On your N900, copy the sample to your MyDocs/bochs folder ready for editing:

Code:

cp /opt/bochs/share/doc/bochs/bochsrc-sample.txt /home/user/MyDocs/bochs/bochsrc

5. Use the freedos bochsrc settings viewed on your PC to amend the bochsrc file on your N900:

Code:

leafpad /home/user/MyDocs/bochs/bochsrc

It should now look something like this:

Code:

# FreeDOS configuration file on N900
config_interface: textconfig
display_library: sdl
megs: 32
romimage: file="/opt/bochs/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-latest"
vgaromimage: file="/opt/bochs/share/bochs/VGABIOS-lgpl-latest-cirrus"
vga: extension=vbe
floppy_bootsig_check: disabled=0
floppya: 1_44="/home/user/MyDocs/bochs/a.img", status=inserted
floppyb: 1_44="/home/user/MyDocs/bochs/b.img", status=inserted
ata0: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x1f0, ioaddr2=0x3f0, irq=14
ata0-master: type=disk, path="/home/user/MyDocs/bochs/c.img", cylinders=306, heads=4, spt=17

private_colormap: enabled=0
clock: sync=none, time0=local
# no cmosimage
ne2k: enabled=0
pnic: enabled=0
sb16: enabled=0
# no loader
log: bochsout.txt
logprefix: %t%e%d
debugger_log: -
panic: action=ask
error: action=report
info: action=report
debug: action=ignore
pass: action=fatal
keyboard_type: mf
keyboard_serial_delay: 250
keyboard_paste_delay: 100000
keyboard_mapping: enabled=0, map=
user_shortcut: keys=none
mouse: enabled=0

6. Transfer the files a.img, b.img, c.img from your PC to your N900 to the location /home/user/MyDocs/bochs
7. Now you're ready to run FreeDOS in Bochs
Change to the directory where your disc image and config file is located:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs/bochs

Launch bochs:

Code:

/opt/bochs/bin/bochs

and on the bochs main menu, enter 6 to begin simulation.

Hope that helps get you started.
Oh and for reference here's a link to the bochs user manual from the bochs home page - not specific for the N900 but will answer any questions regarding disc images for use in bochs.
