Who Can Recompile A Vm Os?

[Perris Calderon]

yoyo

are you working on my working model yet

we'll use this program.

we can xperiment our new fangled os with two gigs ram+ two gigs hard drive.

I guess you'll need 2500 ram to begin with on the mother box~~~then we assign two gigs of the ram to our tiny linux, along with 2 gigs of hardrive.

put the os on one gig of the hardrive, so we have a gig to play with for files, programs and work.

then, we'll image the one gig os, along with the gig of files and as many programs as we can fit, right onto our 2 gig ram drive.

don't worry about how long it takes to copy to the ram disc, as this is just a working model...don't worry about the hardrive backup either, as this program will automatically save our work when we take a snapshot

when we get it all to work, we'll post a download, and the members here can alpha the thing

we will be rich and famous


:happy:

Go for it ... we're all here to beta test

Been screwing around with Linux's mem management and all. I have now been pre-reading at startup, 500 MB disk that is, seems to work just fine, just problem i have come across is that when using a lot, used some test scripts for this, it takes the HD longer to write it ( duh ), but at shutdown i had to re-write some code together with a friend to get it to write all the stuff to HD, otherwise it would shutdown and just lose all newly generated data.

i geuss its possible, still dont see its use but o well.

Operating systems require extremely low-level access to the processor, XP is a good example. If you think you can run multiple Os’s from the same CPU you are wrong, one must stop in order for the other to continue, multithreading Operating systems have yet to be invented. Most require a CPU each, some require multiple CPU’s, and none can run on a single CPU without emulating software. This is so complicated to design that no one has successfully. Only the emulation software can give you the impression that such a thing works and I suspect it does it by emulating the CPU registers in memory.
This is a sure fire line to disaster.

Agreed. But, it does help. Depending on what program you are making.

the use is as follows;

we are trying to create an "everything always on operating sytem"...theorehtically, this is what we can wind up with.

the principle of everything always being on has been a theoretical possibility for some time.

I believe it is now a practical possibility as well.

and that won't be the end.

after everything being loaded into ram, we will figure out how to put the whole drive into register as well
