I seem to recall the QNX kernel is pretty slim as well.
- pjc50 11y agoI used to have a 1.44Mb floppy that booted QNX to a desktop environment. Of course, that's not so unusual historically: both Amiga and GEM had single-floppy desktop enviroments (or did the Amiga require two to get to Workbench?)
- david-given 11y agoThat's just the microkernel, though --- it didn't contain any functionality other than sending messages (and a few other things, microkernels very). Fuzix' 27kB contains the scheduler, drivers, tty, file system and Posix subsystem!
- cbsmith 11y agoFuzix definitely was end to end. On the other hand, the QNX kernel is a more capable foundation to build on.
