I do not think that I am able to do this in five minutes. This whole CI stuff is reasonably complex. As an interim solution, I uploaded a snapshot release...
Thanks! Will import this in the next days.
I uploaded the package to the [SvarDOS package repository](http://svardos.org/?p=repo). > If you want, you can make a PullRequest with a SvarDOS target in the Makefile and I'll create SvarDOS releases...
One, but probably not the only reason it is not running with less than 256K RAM, is the initial uncompression and relocation stage of the FreeDOS style EDR kernel.sys, which...
> So, I assume it's also compressed. Can you please point me to a binary versions of the non-compressed kernel? Sure! I uploaded you an image (1.44M) with an uncompressed...
According to the FreeDOS FAT12 volume boot code, this by itself depends on more than 128K of RAM: https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/blob/5de2eb1aa01b0129b046cf06338453a233c6597b/boot/boot.asm#L32
Different kernel memory usage ONLY depending if compressed / non-compressed? That does not look right to me, and should be investigated.
I compared the four different flavors (single-file, dual-file, compressed and uncompressed) for their memory consumption. I could not reproduce the 6K difference in memory usage @Torinde encountered. Maybe this resulted...
@Torinde the uncompressed kernels reside in the files `edrdos 8.img` (dual-file) and `edrdos 9.img` (single-file) from following link: https://nextcloud.iww.rwth-aachen.de/index.php/s/eWYWWRzd2q4YeS2 The compressed are the ones are from: https://github.com/SvarDOS/edrdos/actions/runs/13357828232
> @boeckmann, thanks! With all 4 of your latest files I get 64K usage. With the SvarDOS from [Jan 2025](http://svardos.org/download/20250119/svardos-20250119-floppy-360K.zip) I get 58K usage, so it seems some of the...
