Lovely #Vaxen 🖖

Prolly nowhere near enough to me to bite, but wondering what other gems you might be considering divesting yourself from.

Big fan boi here of 70's #minis and #micros (and early 80's).

Thanks to @whoosh for boosting!

@ball It should definitely fit in reasonable memory sized #VAXen, say 16MB. The kernel can be stripped back and the ramdisk needs just enough to prompt for source and target devices, plus gzip - so much less than the current #sysinst based images. Something akin to the old #SunOS miniroot boot tape.

As it happens #NetBSD/ #amiga still has a miniroot install option - you partition with #AmigaOS native tools, write the miniroot to what will be the swap partition, then boot into it to complete.

@cloudguy

I remember #Gem, great GUI for the time although I never adopted it, but did use Ventura publisher and AmiPro intead of Aldus and Word, respectively, on Windows

Everything else though, yah, very, very similar history for myself except for the Apple 🍏 stuffs; like you, I'm quite proudly Mac stupid.

It's always good to meet a fellow Slacker, and "frinds don't let frinds run ewb00ntew!"

You can haz #Cheezburgerz! 🍔
