In the images below you'll find a semi-functional kernel that allows the interaction with some basic GNU tools. Due to lack of space (1.44MB) I also use the BusyBox utility. This little program comes with only one binary which have a lot of basic UNIX/Linux commands.

For all the people who wants a better environment to play and to experiment with this kernel, I have prepared a live-filesystem of about 60MB. It comes with a README file with the instructions about how to work with it.

Another way to test this kernel is burning one of the live CDROM images you can download from here.

Uncompress first the floppy image using the gzip -d command, and then start testing it in several different ways:

• Using a floppy disk:

  # dd if=fiwix-0.7.0.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k count=1440
            

• Using QEMU emulator:

  # qemu -fda fiwix-0.7.0.img -boot a
            

• Using QEMU emulator with the 60MB hard disk image:
  If you want to use the hard disk image as the root filesystem, you'll have to change the kernel parameter root=/dev/fd0 by root=/dev/hda1 in the GRUB menu.

  # qemu -fda fiwix-0.7.0.img -hda fiwix60mb.img -boot a
