  2. Re:My Crazy Idea on Should Aunt Tillie Build Her Own Kernels? · · Score: 0

    KAOS runs a binary ramdisk first, I think that OS just loads the basic binary then compiles the current download it has.

    KaosBSD is basically OpenBSD as is, with the KAOS running on top.
    So I just put OpenBSD into a ramdisk, then setup KAOS as a custom compile or binary.
    [The only code not available is the crypto and the parallel probability prediction, it's my unique stuff and the crypto is banned in USA.]
    This lets me use an exokernel / ramdisk structure to get it faster.

    My goal is to get an binary install on 32MB ram and a compiled install on 64 MB ram.
    The main reason for the ramdisk is speed, microkernels like OpenBSD are slower than exokernels because they hit the HD for the OS, then the app.
    exokernels have the OS as an API, so they go directly to what they use on the HD, no bouncing between app and OS.

    See http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=25942&cid=2866 400 for my comments on Ramdisk speed on an old machine.

    I'm talking about KAOS doing this in a later thread, but it is a good idea.

    I think I can still get my Apple 5300 PB to run off a ramdisk with 32MB ram, 12 MB as Ramdisk. Or was it 9MB ramdisk?

    It makes a 601e PPC as fast as a G3 266 just from not hitting the slow HD for the OS.

    I wouldn't be sure about that, Darwin is originally intel based FreeBSD, all you need is to port Aqua and put Virtual PC in the system then you can get Coccoa OS X apps, windows apps & linux apps going in the same OS.

    This is something my KAOS operating system deals with, I plan to use DeCSS as the DVD player part.
    This doesn't help piracy, it gets you past the stuff you can't skip. (copyright notice, adverts)

    It also tells the CD Rom drive to behave like a CD player when playing a CD.
    It should then work like a charm, but if you want to rip a protected CD, just play from an external CD player and plug the audio out into your computer's audio in port.
    You can then rip Mp3's or OGG if you're a /. freak

    Sharks are trying to dominate, yet they can't as the law of equilibrium makes predators prone to other predators when there is overpopulation.

    Well, you have to consider Enron. There is a global predator of the oil industry species that did buy changes in the law (75% of congress & the president), yet it still collapsed due to overpopulation in the free market. (debt for expansion)
    Equilibrium was ignored in favor of share value, so the company never aimed for profit margins to sustain growth, it used loans.

    I do feel sorry for that lady who lost US$500 000 of her pension fund in Enron shares.

    Funny thing is, I've been working on this for KAOS (OpenBSD based system)
    Only thing different is BSD, not linux.

    Basically my system runs on a basic ramdisk first, then asks about hardware, then what software you want.
    Almost all of it is available as source, except the crypto and the parallel probability prediction. which would mean nothing to anyone, as it's my private maths.

    If the installer is running on a ramdisk, no it would not take that long.
    The other thing is the mostly ramdisk structure of the core system.

    I wouldn't subscribe to microsoft, but BSD or a compiler I would.

    EG: my KaosBSD system allows for annual license of the system and all distribution apps. (400 days before you have to pay to upgrade, giving another 5 weeks use)

    1] It still works after not subscribing, you just don't get updates which is like the usual way.
    2] Cost of subscription is lower than buying new licenses in my scheme.
    3] My apps don't force an upgrade, they just remind you you to pay subs first.

    If you really have that much porn, I think you deserve to get a copy of KAOS when it's done so you can test the Porno password.

    At the login password, type "dutch miracle" the login will change to porno password. Then pick the pix you want in order to login.
    Another part is planned, the porno error.
    All errors will then popup as porn pix.

    And of course, the porno desktop.

    For the purposes of research I have about 6gig of porn (cable modem helps) and a CD burner.
