Details

As posted by Mateusz on the mailing list today:

Maybe this could be some SvarDOS subproject: compute and publish a
"floppy bootdisk" for emergency things or floppy-only systems? Such
floppy would come with no installer and no svp packages, only the kernel
and some basic applications (very similar in this aspect to Svarog86).

There, having a multilang environment could make sense, if its cost is
not prohibitive.

Such bootable floppy could be computed together with SvarDOS (by a
dedicated script), so it would be kept up-to-date automatically and use
the same packages as "hard-disk based" SvarDOS systems. Not something I
will invest time into, but I find the prospect interesting and would
definitely welcome any initiative in this direction.
