The hard disk image which you can generate with the build_hd_image.sh script in the elkscmd directory can be run in a web page using the "virtual x86" application on this page: http://copy.sh/v86/ You specify the hard disk image on that web page and then click on "Start Emulation". ELKS will boot and run in a new window. If you enable a getty in the ELKS inittab file, you can also log into ELKS via an emulated serial port. Another solution is JPC: http://jpc.sourceforge.net/home_home.html You download the JPCApplication.jar file and e.g. copy it into the elkscmd directory. Then you enter java -jar JPCApplication.jar -boot hda -hda full_hdd to run ELKS. It will take about half a minute to load the JPC Java application. Then select File/Start from the menu to boot ELKS. There is also a JPC applet available to run the JPC solution on a website.
