    Hello,

    I think this was a really cool project. I wonder what has happened lately with it. The low resource usage appeals to me. I would like to know more about NanoX and Tiny Core Linux, such as how you developed this environment. I am interested in duplicating your NanoLinux to be able to create my own or develop off of yours. Details of putting together the NanoX GUI with the Linux Kernel, for instance, and anything else to build more. I work for a Blind Center and would like to be able to put together a product for screen reading and other tasks to help blind and visually impaired folks. My skills are superficial, basic, but I am a quick learner. I suppose I can check on what is available as documentation for NanoX and TIny Core. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

    By the way, I was able to get NanoLinux 32bit iso on Qemu and run the VM on my machine to test. It seems to be a little slow, quirky but I am still fascinated by the simple setup. In meantime, I am plannning to experiment some more.

    Thanks,

    Seal,

    I currently do not have the time to maintain Nanolinux. The base is Core Linux, which is Tiny Core Linux without GUI. I used FLTK based on NanoX as the GUI and added a number of low-footprint applications. The source code for these applications should be in the files directory.
