There is no ''easy to install package'' for people who want to quickly try out a new BIOS on their computer, yet. However, we provide some images for the [[QEMU]] emulator to test coreboot (and some [[Payloads|payloads]]) on your Linux, OS X and Windows computers (without having to do any hardware changes). But please note that these images can '''not''' be used on any mainboard, they will only work in [[QEMU]]!
