One Disk Rebol and OS

Hey All, I got Core running on MuLinux from a single floppy all in RAM. Its got networking, ppp (though not currently working?), NFS, UMSDOS, smb client, and few other tricks. Much of course thanks to M. Andreoli for creating the MuLinux distribution, currently my favorite linux distribution (http://sunsite.auc.dk/mulinux/). I myself am interested in using this disk for some mild robotics and control applications. But before I finish it up for the masses, I want to get some opionions. What sort of things do you think a one disk /Core system might be used for??? --Ryan PS: How about View? I will (at sometime) implement a version that goes to a ftp site and downloads Mu's X windows, View, and your REBOL applications... But dont get excited just yet.

Can you post a disk image of your floppy?

Great news. I've been using MuLinux too for about a few weeks now. It's very nice, great way to learn a lot about Linux without loading a "full distribution", disk partioning etc etc. Plus it can be "cloned" to the hard drive. I managed to get ppp working, currently having problems with the mail functionality. Can't wait to see how you got Core running... Mike Berrisford.

I am set up to try xdenu linux (very neat!), but won't have time till after the holiday. I'll let you know.

Hey Ryan: I haven't been watching the current version of this thread, but let me tell you that I'm setting up an online class on programming for a local school district using rebol as the teaching language. One of the things that I'm contemplating is looking for a fully bootable disk, and it looks like that is what you have. What editors are on it? And ppp for sure..... What is UMSDOS? Would a support a simple DOS Editor like ne.com? Regards Tim [ryanc--iesco-dms--com] wrote:
