Operating System: An operating system is a collection of things that don't fit into a language. There shouldn't be one. -- Dan Ingalls, in Byte Magazine, 1981

ISO Boot Disk Notes

• http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/image/2.3b/ was the link that broke the spell. The text seems to be the normal welcome text from a Squeak image, however it contained more information about shrinking than I'd seen in other images.
• I've finally figured out how to get Smalltalk majorShrink to work. Which yields a 2Meg image. This means I don't have to get around the 8Meg limit imposed by isolinux. Which meant I can finally make a bootable CD to boot SqueakNOS? 3 years after first taking on the task. The magic is the method that flips your MVC project to be the root project. Then you just preceed past errors, and bingo.

Download the iso image give it a try. No responsibility accepted!. https://xpdeveloper.com/~byeo/images/boot.iso

I hope to atleast publish my Makefile so other people can make their own images.
