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

[Guido Chari]

Hi,

The linux experiment sounds very interesting. We have talked lot of times
about doing something like that for NOS. More than a compiler we have
thought something like an emulator. Its very interesting, but is a complex
and big project.

For the tests not green well...last versions are old and, as you can see
from last mails, we are trying to find time to adapt NOS to the new VMs
(Cog, Stack). That first step would help a lot.

Last versions also hasn't Network support, that's why on test you have that
and monticello shows errors. There are some old packages for doing some
network stuff, we should look if we can make them work again.

Cheers,
Guido.

> (11:51:34) egp_: At NOS, mouse and keyboard are working OK. "Load sources

> (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

> (12:03:44) egp_: Net-Tests: 63 run, 18 passed OK, 9 failures, 36 errors.

> (12:13:44) egp_: Heheh FAT32F*S*Test: 15 run, 6 passed OK, 3 failures, 6

> (12:19:32) egp_: Well. Personally I find NOS mode as more interesting than

> (12:22:33) egp_: Pressed "Save and quit".
> (12:25:50) egp_: Pressed Reset. After a quick boot process (my machine has
