The 89Mbyte image contains all the goodies (games, apps). Impressive !! Volhout Apparently....... NOT!!! Here is a video of someone booting up from the floppy image - everything is there! It's all in the 1.44MB floppy image.... ......bloody hell!   EDIT: WARNING - Some bad language in places... I ALSO figured the floppy image was just the kernel and a very basic GUI, with none of the goodies, but seems we are BOTH wrong about that!   Edited 2026-08-31 17:48 by Grogster
