   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.

   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 on a floppy. It is fun to have a fully working OS at the en

   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 have Vi for editing persisted files o

   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. Furthermore, I'm sharing my experiments here https:&#x2F

    Did you try qemu-system-x86_64 instead?

    by w84death 5y ago

    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

    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 about the problems with installing missing 32bit libs o

    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 don't think it is what you want. For sane set of t

    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 with that info. Thanks!

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