• A Modern Operating System in 1.44MBs

  Here's the link to the OS the YouTube video is talking about... http://kolibrios.org/en/ It's been around for a very long time and is actually a fork of MenuetOS... http://menuetos.net Both are very impressive feats of assembly language engineering. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Adopt your true identity

  Well, Menuet OS is not linux but assembly and very small. It will fit on a single 1.44MB diskette. Source: 5 months ago

• I rescued this computer and monitor from the trash. It freezes when trying to load any operating system and sometimes even at the BIOS setup. I tried reseating the CPU and RAM to no avail. How would I go about diagnosing this further?

  You have floppy disk drive. Try menuetos or any live cd to see if it hangs on those. Source: 10 months ago

• whe you know your place

  You know speaking of asm… maybe menuet might be the end all best OS ever made. It does fit on a floppy with a GUI and multitasking and it can play quake. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Where do the elite assemblers live?

  MenuetOS (1) is an operating system where everything is written in assembly including the applications. 1. http://menuetos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  There is also this one: http://menuetos.net/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Help needed: I got my hands on a Compaq Portable 386. As I don‘t have a suitable OS for it and it only boots from floppy disks, I thought of trying to connect the display and keyboard to a RaspberryPi. Any ideas how I can do this?

  Google floppy distros. You can boot from a floppy with a small Linux distro on it. This is what I started with many years ago. This one is active, not Linux but very cool. http://menuetos.net/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  To be fair, someone liked it enough to build an OS in it: http://kolibrios.org http://menuetos.net. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Nasm – A cross-platform x86 assembler with an Intel-like syntax

  I switched to FASM when I started playing with MenuetOS [1] years ago. I like FASM, and the community was very helpful then. I started with 6502 assembly back in the 80s, and assembly for 8-bit micros in the 90s. I left assembly until just 4 years ago, and then I started playing with it again for boot sector games because of Oscar Toledo Gutierrez's book, 'Programming Boot Sector Games', for fun. Now there's,... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Applications written solely in Assembly

  Menuet OS is an entire graphical operating system written in Intel assembly http://menuetos.net/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is anyone making a simple and fast OS with limited functionality?

  I'm reminded of MenuetOS http://menuetos.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• "Free Hardware" - The Rise of Forth?

  Chuck is not alone regarding building a tailored operating system with no abstraction layer. If you don't know, you can look at http://menuetos.net Then we can have an idea of the order of magnitude of the abstraction layers that are really obstructing layers. A system that fits a 1.44MB when zipped, against GBs for "modern" operating systems. This is +1000 times fatter. Source: about 3 years ago
