TronNerd82I just realized that nobody ever thought to revive Ubuntu Satanic Edition with the 6.6.6 kernel. Major missed opportunity :(

@enigmatico @privateger Anyway, with #musl & #toybox I got a booting #Linux with #kernel666 in #1440kB:
https://github.com/OS-1337/OS1337/blob/main/OS1337-core-prerelease.img
And I do continue to work on @OS1337 ...
@SweetAIBelle @OS1337 shure.
I'm convinced that a fully-fledged image of that would be similar to #toybox's #mkroot, which is @landley 's reference implementation for a toxbox + #musl / #linux system.
- Last time I checked it came out just below 4 MB, but that was the premade image using only the stuff toybox included [and linux & being statically compiled against musl] like #gzip instead of #xz for compression, so there already is room to shave a few hundred kB without reducing functionality out of the get-go as I've seen with my build tests of #kernel666...
Either way, we're close to his reference matterial AFAICT and I do think that OS/1337 can become a good and solid foundation for #minimalist & #embedded systems.
For comparison:
#YoctoLinux is quite #THICC in comparison (using LSB & #GNUtils for the most part!) and stuff like #OpenADK seems to be overly complex...
- tho #Viprinet hasn't updated their stuff in like 8 years and I sincerely hope that's just them loginwalling access to #SourceCode like #grsecurity to paying customers only and not them such old Kernels.
Speaking of #grsec, I wounder if Bruce Perens actually sued them for allegedly violating #GPLv2 when in fact said license allows #paywalling aka. restricting access to buyers of the product it contains.
@ncommander Eeyupp...
In fact, I had to cross-compile and statically link #Kernel666 for @OS1337 on my #amd64 machine because the entire build toolchain won't fit on my #i486-compatible testing hardware at all!
And even if it were to fit, that would mean a simple build would take WEEKS, not mere minutes.
@SweetAIBelle @starchy @OS1337
I know...
I've to basically redo the entire build pipeline for #mlb because for that to work I've to integrate the #initramfs into the #kernel...
I just hope choosing #kernel666 for the #meme-factor doesn't bite me in the ass...
@starchy does this also affect the toolchain for @linux / #Linux #Kernel?
Cuz I do set #kernel666 and the #initramfs for @OS1337 to be compressed with #xz and whilst it's statically compiled against @musl, I still want to enshure this isn't a #SupplyChainAttack affecting me or OS/1337.
@mos_8502 TBH, that size is absurd given that entire fully-fledged Linux distros fit in those not too long ago (or still if you don't use something huge like Ubuntu LTS)...
I'm pretty shure I need less than 1,6 GB of space to build OS/1337 and that is with #Linux #Kernel666...
The end result of a statically linked against #musl built kernel (#bzImage) with xz compression is in the 500-700+kB range and witha stripped-down #toybox and the bloaty af #syslinux I managed to fit it onto a 1440kB Floppy...

So yeah, 1,6GiB is way too big for a single, statically linked #binary, #Rust or not...
Like seriously, How do they manage to waste that much space???
@BrodieOnLinux in fact, there's a linux 6.6.6 ^^
