But they are still way more than 360 KB. I assume that's why you brought that up, as that's the point of reference - 360 KB per disk, making anything on a modern PC monstrous.
And I wish it was only the data I want in my photos. They keep adding more things to each photo, and you end up with HDR and a little video file if you're not careful.
- AstralStorm 2y agoThere is a way to fit the kernel in 360 KB, but that's the most you'll get. Whole distros have been fit on a floppy disc. The kernel with ancillary embedded software in half a megabyte of flash easily. However, this kernel does much more than, say, C64 ever did. BPF and ACPI parser alone is bigger than BASIC, there's a network stack, multitasking etc. Multiple people have claimed you cannot do it with new kernels. They are wrong. (E.g. Floppinux by Jankowski.) Remember that a lot of the software back then took more than one disk. Amiga Workbench for example used 3 for 1.0 I believe... And that built off Kickstart, which is the true kernel and was extra 256 KB.
