Hi Torsten, Yes sure I can. So this PharoNOS is basically TinyCore Linux with pure X server and Pharo running in fullscreen.
I have made some auto-installation scripts which configure the disk so no setup wizard is needed. All space available is mounted under /mnt/universe/ so you may use that folder to store stuff. Everything else is stored in memory. Nice side effect of this is an ease of update as you may just replace the ISO and you'll get the new version of everything (except of the image of course). Image is chosen on start by reading the "/mnt/universe/image" file. You may upload other image and change this file so after reboot it will start with a new one. No safeguards here though - if it breaks there is no cure for it yet :( I'm thinking over on how to implement some recovery on "Image not available or broken". Hm, just now get the idea to run Image chooser if default image failed. Is it available on linux? Jan Tomsa has pointed out that the disk setup is quite dangerous (https://twitter.com/DetektivTomy/status/522860736155238401) I plan to update it later today with more safe solution which will not erase all the data. The idea is to format the disk without a partition table or to work from RAM. Also I think Pharo should be run under root user so you can bind to any port. I can also put more 3d-party libs like sqlite3, so we can have some interesting apps for the terminals run on embedded Pharo :) However I need some feedback on what is needed. So that is it, all comments are welcome. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/PharoNOS-tp4784982p4785034.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
