Terminal console Images
Description The whole purpose behind this terminal server is to fit some useful terminal software on a floppy (with ANSI, VT100 terminal support). Z-modem programs, Kermit, and some other ones are on the floppy. All of these programs (along with the kernel) fit on on 1.44 MB floppy. I used Minix as opposed to Linux, b/c the Minix kernel was only 100Kb and the whole operating system loads itself in 20 seconds, a lot faster than Linux. For more information regarding Minix, check out their website Files The floppy image is a mere 1.44 MB. Download it from this link. If you are using a system that has only a 720kB floppy drive, use this file instead. To make the floppy bootable, you have to use dd on UNIX or rawrite on DOS/Windows machines.
Hardware The only reason why I used this old laptop is b/c its a 486SX with 4MB of RAM, and has no harddrive. Oh, and I stripped most of the plastic b/c I wanted it to look a lot more techno-like, instead of the old black laptop.. |
