OS installs
« on: September 12, 2026, 09:09:15 AM »
Hello Forum,

....i just wondered why OS's such as Haiku only take 20 seconds to install to HDD but your
original live ISO download burned to pen drive is 1.4 gigs?..........how come is that?

Where-as say Kolobrios is just a tiny download which is a live RAM boot each time from either floppy disc or pen drive ........and it's not intended for HDD install.....(it's a single floppy disc in size)

thx
C

this was an interesting screenshot:

is the date/time on the one file manager january 12th, 2021 - 7:44PM or december 1st, 2021 - 7:44PM

also while searching "kolibri" found this:

fascinating indeed.

not sure sir

i would say........ FIRST of December 2021......

Kolobrios offers several file managers on it's desktop........ontop of hundreds of other free tools all from a single floppy disc. 

It's an incredible OS.

Any advance on WHY Haiku just takes 20 seconds to install to HDD from it's live session of a 1.4 gig pen drive live boot...?

Thx
