Confirming. Also the goal was to run LATEST kernel with no changes - just config. With other compression algorithms it was impossible to fit everything into a floppy. And I really …

exactly that: too complicated. also I got 486 DX2/66 as my first PC so I set that as a goal. Then checked how lower can I go. Also I only have 486 DX4 now to test on real hardware.…

Isn't it still alive in automobile/infodesks?

QNX is to this day the biggest "floppy" thing I ever saw. I would love to have a modern recreation of it.

Thanks again for being featured here! Nice to read all of those comments. The project goal is more to learn how to make your own Linux distribution than to fit as much as possible …

I did not realize but I made an equivalent of a OS for writer deck that fits on a single floppy! https://krzysztofjankowski.com/floppinux/ It boots latest Linux, spawns console and…

I've updated the code to stable version moments ago! Official homepage is here: https://smol.p1x.in/os/

I got obsessed with Stable Diffusion. I get past the honeymoon period generating everything I could imagine, and now I'm trying to actually incorporate it in my daily work. Further…

https://krzysztofjankowski.com/ I got into the 512kb club at orange group ( https://512kb.club/#250 :)

Updated images: https://bits.p1x.in/floppinux-update-0-2-1/ With sample application and KIOSK mode.

Did you try qemu-system-x86_64 instead?

It could be 2 things: - you compiled some parts in 64 bits and try to run the QEMU 32 bit system. Try qemu-system-x86_64 - you do not enabled starting #! scripts in the kernel

Nice catch! Thanks.

I got similar problems when I missmach 32bit and 64bit code. First try to run in qemu 64 bit system. I ended up building the whole system on a 32bit old laptop and just don't care …

I can. Why not. Updated the post. Here's the link: https://krzysztofjankowski.com/floppinux/downloads/0.2.0/

Thanks! I changed the file name in the meantime and forgot about the link. Fixed!

Thanks! When I saw how clean and easy it can be in just a few steps I needed to share that knowledge! For me it's the best way to learn Linux.

Barely. If you want to just run some compiled C app then you don't need as much tools. You can even skip the BusyBox part and instead of shell running your application only. But I …

I should see floppy drive as /dev/fd0. Just now as I double check everything I found out that external drives (USB) are shown as /dev/sd*. sdb in my computer. I updated the post wi…

I was thinking of publishing those. Not a problem. I will update the post in a moment. EDiT: done :)

It is read only and will run one particular application in a kind of KIOSK mode. I'm using floppy just for fun.

Thanks!

Yeah, I just wanted to learn Linux. It worked as I learned a lot doing this project :)

This blow my mind back then.It is still super impressive.
