  1. I'm installing #floppinux onto a floppy disc from 1990. My sister found my dad's old USB floppy drives and they still totally work.

  2. Finally figured out how to enable basic job control(via Ctrl+D, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z) and reading /etc/profile in : run "sh -l -m".

    This now enables me to try writing a crude but functional service manager for Floppinux in shell script.

  3. I've got another puzzle to solve.

    I'm thinking of writing a crude service manager in shell script, but Floppinux doesn't have the fg, bg, or kill commands. But you can run a command in the background by adding the "&" at the end, and you can set traps to run on receiving specific signals. Is there a way to kill a command without the kill command? Is there something within /proc/$pid/ I can poke at to very manually trigger process termination?

  4. Thanks to a big community support for FLOPPINUX I got bug reports to make it better.

    I'm now including the fixes, compiling and testing. The 0.3.1 update will be ready soon!
