Wow, @linux does actually improve efficiency over time...

I just compiled a minimal kernel 6.5 for OS/1337 targeting instead of and the resulting binary is even 10kB smaller than the one for 6.4.12...

For real: That's awesome cuz it allows me to make the version for a reality and still have & as client in it...

Cudos to @torvalds and the maintainers for that:
They really did cleanup the codebase and made it |ler!

So for those asking, the Version of OS/1337 will be a better with & support and packing in as client.

So you could at the very least use it as a ...

Sadly this means it will require at least an and won't run on an anymore as a lot of memory was eaten up by woraround code in the kernel...

@whitekiba Yeah, I got a 6.4.12 for with to like 1,1 MB...

Which won't fit...

OFC I don't mean to get it running on such an old machine, but have something like that can fit on a 1440kB FDD...

Or with some added drivers and support on some modern Winbond EEPROM to provide a ROM-only terminal system...

This would also help with other projects of mine...

OS/1337 development:
Using the oldest still maintained did yield about 25% size reduction for it's binary...

The good news: I basically have a new size record with the same settings: 551kB for the Kernel and 402k for toybox - both targeting systems.

The bad news: I've got neither network nor USB support at all!

And I think Network support and having as minimal client is kinda necessary for to work as a "" system at all.

I didn't know supported the . For those that do use it, I guess the question is what dropping support means. If it simply means it won't be considered when updating the kernel code, thats fine. But removing any code necessary for it to work may cause issues.
