| Brandon | Fun500 5 Minimal [Stable]With all this Asgard news, I decided to make some Fun500 news.
This is the first stable release of Fun500 5, Minimal is a cut down release containing only the desktop, package manager, and about app.
It is Stable, and the Package Manager is in its final form for Fun500 5, also the SDK is, so any changes to it must be minimal and not require recompiling.
To Pharaoh, and any one else with the SDK installed, please upgrade to this version, it uses a new font routine.
A VirtualBox Image should be coming soon.
Also a DOS install guide should be coming soon, the primary download has WGET for Windows.

| Brandon | Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxWell my competition did it, so I figured I might as well. I have put Fun500 5 Minimal, FreeDOS, and a packet driver together and packaged it in VirtualBox 2.2.
Not only is my download 6MB SMALLER than Asgard's, I use FreeDOS which is really free!

| aguma | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxThat's because you don't have many apps or source code for your library. (yet, wink wink) | 2009-05-09 | 12:18 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxWhy do I need library source? I mean I have it compiled and documented. If someone needs the code, I will let them have it though.
And I expect that even the Fun500 5 Gold release won't be 8MB. | 2009-05-09 | 1:07 PM |
| aguma | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxWell I'm not saying you need source code, just saying that's why it's smaller. | 2009-05-09 | 1:43 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxI see, but I don't see the code adding more than 100kb.
I think It has to do with the fact that Trolly's image includes apps, like you said, and because he uses OpenDOS, FreeDOS is better. | 2009-05-09 | 1:51 PM |
| trolly | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxopenDos is more stable and a more eprouved product (remember, it was a good commercial OS) than FreeDos | 2009-05-09 | 5:12 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxI just question using a once commercial product. | 2009-05-09 | 8:13 PM |
| pharoah | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxLike Qbasic? | 2009-05-09 | 8:20 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Fun500 5 Minimal for VirtualBoxYeah, that why I don't host copies of it :) | 2009-05-09 | 8:24 PM |
