I think you're thinking QNX and not BeOS (BeOS
requires at least 32MB
and
200MB disk space). I know QNX can be squeezed down to
that (or at least
could at one point, not sure if it still will fit on a floppy).
Thats it. QNX even has a demo with a browser that fits on floppy.
There is also the linux kernal project, I have the LRP (router) on
a single floppy. Though for smallness there is CPM-86 and DOS.

QNX is also available free, including a windowing system, networking
and a development environment. ( for non commercial users )

Yeah, but they nickle & dime you on every single little utility that one
takes for granted with a real *nix. Want grep? It'll cost you. vi?
It'll cost you.
At least the last time I looked into it (4 years ago).
Don't get me wrong, QNX is terrific. Just expensive. If they are now
offering a seemingly fully-blown system as described above free for
hobbyists then more power to them.

Well, the source code exists and should be compilable on anything
posix-like.
The LynuxWorks (dumb name -- was formerly Lynx) folks are now working
on full Linux binary compatiblity for their stuff so you could run
the unmodified Linux binaries on LynxOS or BlueCat -- their real time
Linux.

If you are interested in QNX, check out http://www.qnxstart.com/. Loads of

CP/M and DOS don't even have GUIs. =?
The QNX demo is of course interesting, but won't run on a 4 MB machine, since
it is heavily compressed on that floppy and needs to unpack into RAM.

En ligne avec Thor 2.6.
Within several messages, hsc refers to the user as a ``jerk''. This happens if
you are using features which are only supported by some special browsers. Some
people say they are forced by their employer to use those features, and
therefor feel insulted by hsc.
As a solution, you can store the amount of your monthly payment in this
variable:
setenv HSCSALARY 1000
After this, hsc will stop calling you a ``jerk''. Instead, it will now use the
term ``prostitute''.
