[SqNOS] NOS: Small test results #1 + my vague windy ideas

[Evgeniy Philippov]

(11:22:29) egp_: I may hope to write a C/C++ compiler to run from inside 
of (modified?) Squeak, to import Linux into Squeak... To experiment like 
that... But I am windy, don't know if the desire will stay.
(11:23:44) egp_: Maybe some additional languages like (new) mathtalk 
would be necessary
(11:24:02) egp_: (mathtalk is my term)
(11:24:43) egp_: (all of the above experimental thoughts are vague)

About NOS:

I downloaded a 2011.March HDD image and ran it inside a VMWare Player.

(11:47:11) egp_: Great. SqueakNOS has booted OK under "VMWare Player" 
under my "Win7 Home Extended". NOS has shown a number of Squeak windows.
(11:48:32) egp_: My machine's hardware are ASUS motherboard, Intel i3 
32-bit processor, and nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS.
(11:51:34) egp_: At NOS, mouse and keyboard are working OK. "Load 
sources from disk" prompt seems to have loaded sources OK.
(11:53:33) egp_: Monticello browser shows an error "primitive failed".
(11:55:18) egp_: Menu -> System -> "Space left" shows 17 MB.
(11:56:26) egp_: squeak image save seem to have worked OK (I didn't try 
reloading image yet.)
(11:58:33) egp_: Test Runner -> "Run Coverage" has shown an error: 
MessageNotUnderstood
(12:00:31) egp_: NetworkTests-(Protocols,Url): all (i.e. 39) tests 
passed OK.
(12:03:44) egp_: Net-Tests: 63 run, 18 passed OK, 9 failures, 36 errors.
(12:06:09) egp_: NetworkTests-*: 156 run, 123 passed OK, 30 "expected 
failures", 3 errors.
(12:10:07) egp_: I switched from VMWare NAT mode to Bridged mode. 
Re-testing.
(12:11:55) egp_: Exactly the same results for Net-Tests and Network-Tests-*.
(12:13:44) egp_: Heheh FAT32F*S*Test: 15 run, 6 passed OK, 3 failures, 6 
errors. SO BEWARE OF USING ON A REAL HDD, this is a buggy code :)
(12:17:02) egp_: SqueakNOS-(FileSystems, FileSystemsFAT32): 18 run, 7 
passed, 3 failures, 8 errors.
(12:19:32) egp_: Well. Personally I find NOS mode as more interesting 
than OS+Squeak mode. :)
(12:22:33) egp_: Pressed "Save and quit".
(12:25:50) egp_: Pressed Reset. After a quick boot process (my machine 
has SSD drive and 3.3Ghz CPU), all Squeak windows shown up OK.

WBR,
Evgeniy.
