Very impressive, can you upload bochs floppy image, I think it is currently not available, correct me if im wrong.

[Tim]

Yes please, I couldn't find the disk image either.

[Jan-Michael Brummer]

No problem. i will add an old image of version 0.2.4a this evennig.

I didn't find a TabOS binary or disk image, so I tried compiling it from source under Linux 2.4.19 with GCC 3.2.2

There are some bugs in kernel/bfmt/elf_app.c which I tried to fix.

I don't have MTOOLS, so "make install" did not work. I don't think you need mtools. mformat=mkdosfs, mmd=mkdir, mcopy=cp, plus FAT filesystem support in the kernel, plus the loopback device to use a file as a simulated floppy disk. Linux alone can now do whatever you need.

Where is $(MOUNT_POINT) defined in the Makefiles?

When I booted TabOS, it said
Initializing the internal VGA driver...cannot register

Then the hard drive light went on and stayed on (scary!), and the system froze up.

Does it need VESA 2.0? How much RAM does it need? Does it run under Bochs?

[Jan-Michael Brummer]

well, it took some time because i have been very busy the last weeks, but here is the promised new version of tabos. look at the page and check it out. it is developer snapshot so dont expect to much of it.

could we please get an floppy image!

[Jan-Michael Brummer]

ok, what kind of image do you want? the old stable 0.2.4a, or a new developer image? do you want it for harddisc or floppy disc?

[df]

the current version you put up as a bootable disk image? (floppy image would be best...)

[Jan-Michael Brummer]

ok, i will put it on the page....and for further questions, wishes and bugs please use our own forum, because we do not check this site very often right now
