:) I only suggested that the OP have a look; not that it's a fancy OS. Just an interesting idea.

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...

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.
