Help with Bochs Needed (PROBLEM SOLVED)

[Joel Sherrill <joel@OARcorp.com>]

I took a stab at adding a Bochs tip section with this in it.

I am glad to see it working.

The .exe might be larger because more is enabled now or the image
needs to be stripped.  It is also possible that those old images
are really built using something like pc586 and are really smaller.
Hard to say after this long.

Now if we could get a Microwindows or TCP/IP example going on Bochs.
