Damn, I dont use a floppy drive anymore. My CD Re-Writer rendered it (seemingly) useless.
El Torito is your friend.
Good to see an OS based in fiasco-l4 microkernels. Interesting. I will download the floppy and see how it performs.
the site has been ‘newsed. I’ll have to get it later
Aren’t they those spicey mexican chips?
Works great for me. try again.

Here too…
Downloade it, burned it to a CD.
When I try any of the options it loads the kernel and then does’nt work….perhaps it’s searching for a _real_ floppy and can’t find it?

Wow, I am really impressed. The visual effects are incredibly smooth. I wonder how far they are from having a usable system.
Ah ha, ha, ha, very funny. El Torito is a CD-R/RW format that allows you to place a bootable floppy disk image on a CD-R/RW and boot it as a CD (duh), among other things. Mmmm… Toritos (with nacho dip!);)
