I only suggested that the OP have a look; not that it's a fancy OS. Just an interesting idea.Troy Martin wrote:Love4: Bad idea (TM). No good docs, the "file system" described is just loading sectors, hard to use, etc. AtomicOS sucks.

Re: Best Way To Boot
Agreed, the idea is quite nifty, but you could probably create a simple file system (names, marking off clusters, etc) in less than four sectors.
Hmm, maybe I should do that...

Depending on your sector size, perhaps even less...

Re: Best Way To Boot
Now if you're running off a CD you have 2048 bytes/sector plus some padding used for error correction and stuff, so you have a sector size of something like 2.3 KB.
