Where have the nightly builds of the pc-boot-iso gone?
Only linux version available on the download pages of
www.aros.org


The Last couple of nights, the Native Build has failed. This is due to some updates by Nic, as he is adding Better CPU (APIC/SMP etc...) support to the OS.

I still question the need for a floppy (which is why native build is broke, it's too large for the floppy) builds.  Emergency boot floppy for native, sure, but a floppy distro? How many machines are out there that can't boot off of their CD/DVD device?  It maybe time to put it to bed once and for all, or atleast only update it once in a blue moon.  IMO.

No, we need a floppy distro.

1. It is a proof of Concept.
2. It takes only a few min's to download (unlike the CD version, esp. on 56K connections).
