I got this from another forum, looks interesting. It's an OS that fits on a floppy.

http://www.menuetos.org/

MenuetOS is a fully 32 bit assembly written graphical operating system. Menuet supports 32 bit x86 assembly programming as a faster and smaller system footprint.

Menuet has no unix roots and the basic system is meant to be a clean asm based structure. Menuet isn't based in any particular operating system, since the idea has been to remove the extra layers between different parts of software, which complicate programming and create bugs.

Menuet's application structure is not specifically reserved for asm programming since the header can be produced with practically any other language. However, the overall application programming design is intended for easy 32 bit asm programming. The GUI is extremely easy to handle with assembly language.

-gosh

hmm.. i dread to to see how big the boot disk would be pretty clever even if its a more or less pointless OS

Looks cool!

can i play games on this thing?

Looks like you can if you look at the screenies... They're playing Chess!

pretty neat... It would be kewl to configure that to work on an MP3 system and put it into your car.

I think you can use this on a Multi-Boot CD too!

Well... I can't get it to work on any PCs. I have tried it on 3 different ones, each different configurations.

has any one goten it to work for them ? and if so whats its capabilities ? does it work just like aregular os and is it compatible with most programs ? thats what im curious about

i meant real games like BF 1942...

well i got it to work on 1 of my machines a pIII 600
um...it sorta functions like the old macintosh os.

OS cannot be on floopy

If you want a good non-install OS (fits on a bootable CD) try Knoppix.

It's Linux-based and free.

Just burn the image and boot the CD.

Or MUlinux, also runs from a floppy.
