Has this project come any closer to reality in the past year? I kind of lost track of it.
There have been lots of bootable squeaks.
Just before 2000, I used to carry around a 2.2 mini image on a 1.44MB floppy that worked off OSKit (back when machines had floppies!). http://lists.tunes.org/archives/tunes/1999-October/002363.html
Last year, I had a bootable puppy linux key that I put the Seaside One Click experience on. With a 1GB key, it wasn't even challenging. http://news.squeak.org/2007/11/10/seaside-one-click-experience/
Recently, there was Squeakware, made from Slax: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2005-October/096016.h...
What are you looking for?

to add to your list, there is also SqueakNOS: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1762
It seems to be rather dead, though...
Best,
Michael
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, exactly... I guess the "full squeak experience?"
I'm thinking about ubiquitous computing, wearables, etc.... small machines that may require on-the-spot application modification. What smalltalk was designed for.I'm looking to get rid of some of the overhead of the OS and be able to breath some fun/life back into some less powerful machines.
Specifically, I have all the parts necessary for a wearable computer (a rather bulky one..) and would like to use squeak on it.

SqueakNOS is not completely dead, however, it only supports serial mice. And, to answer the question... I would use the slax squeak thing, or some minimilized linux to run squeak on. Then you could also easily change your image you were running as well!

I also like the idea of using a minimal linux to run squeak on. Linux has a lot of developers supporting it on many platforms. Why not build on their work and not redo that work by writing Squeak drivers for keyboards, mice and other devices. Just hide Linux as best you can, use it for the low level stuff and have Squeak do everything else.

Right, sorry for a delayed reply, but, That is a very good idea, I was actually going to do that at one point, but I have no use for it, so I decided not to(and I am still learning linux) you could use linux from scratch! thats a good project
