Tiny Core 14.0 Alpha 1 Testing

<< < (14/22) > >>

CNK:
Sounds like the current build tricks are the best for full features with the smallest size then.

- what you MEASURABLLY gain (in speed, size) using SMB versus NFS ?
- I think qemu NBD (network block device) allows loops still fast enough. YMMV.

I am sorry but i do not use NFS any more myself, since ... 1996 !!
Stopped when not using Sun sparc stations anymore.
Seen implementations in de wild, preferable version NFS 4.0

I use Qemu also. But, most of my systems all are running esxi (vmware), tesing can be done on the free vmware player, and then you can copie 1 on 1 over to the esxi environment.
For personal usage, esxi is also free.

nick65go:
@alphons: Lets not confuse "free" to use (close source) software (like VMware) with "open source" software (like qemu). Then, at lest for me, is important:
1. FLEXIBILITY (to change arch 32/64 on the fly, or use libc and musl in-parallel). to have access to various apps.
2. perceived SECURITY, in isolated environment, especially network exposed  (ex: firefox in separateVM). With "security" I can even run Kolibri-OS in a small VM, to have txt / pdf / audio / video etc.

The main goal is to use apps which ask for less RAM in VM. Because it is hard to upgrade my RAM on old machine. And qemu has snapshot storage (layer over layer). to reuse same "hdd" micro-core in simultaneous VM, etc.
PS: I am sorry to deviate from the main topic, which is TC14-alpha.

Hi nick65go

--- Quote from: Rich on February 05, 2023, 02:08:25 PM ---I did some more work on the ANSI color escape sequence patch.
I have not posted it to the repo yet.

The person that created the patch didn't do a good job on the
color handling, so I thought I'd try to fix that. ...

Sorry, I've been kind of busy.

Fltk-1.3 has been updated in TC10 through TC14, both x86 and x86_64 to better
match the colors displayed in a terminal.

Hi nick65go
If you or anyone else wants to review the changes, a tarball containing the
source package, patches, AnsiMode.H, and build script can be found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86/tcz/src/fltk/
and here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/src/fltk/
Both of tarballs are the same.
