We boot it from NTFS-partitions of harddrives, so KolibriOS is 10 years ahead of Menuet from your words...
Just a note: not all files from Menuet and MenuetOS kernel were GPLed and after 3,5 years of work the MenuetOS part in Kolibri is very small.

I really get tired of this attitude. Just because something is old does not make it useless. For example, WinXP still requires a floppy if you need to install hard drive controller drivers. Also, is there really any reason not to have one installed if you already have one laying around?
