<b>Download the latest version of DreamOS:</b> <a href="https://files.scheme.org/dreamos20120208.tar.gz">dreamos20120208.tar.gz</a>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
On Linux, use the following to write to a floppy disk:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
gunzip dreamos20120208.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xvf dreamos20120208.tar
|
|
cd dreamos
|
|
dd if=dreamos.floppy of=/dev/fd0
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
Once you boot the floppy, you will find yourself in the read-eval-print loop of the Dream Scheme Interpreter.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Files are stored on the floppy disk using a rudimentary flat file system.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>(sys-file-list)</b> will return a list of their names.
|
|
<br>
|
|
The files "bootstrap.scm" and "init.scm" are loaded automatically when the Dream Scheme Interpreter starts.
|
|
<br>
|
|
There is a primitive clone of the 'vi' editor, coded in scheme in the file "edit.scm" (loaded automatically by "init.scm").
|
|
<br>
|
|
Type <b>(edit "README")</b> for example, and use the keys 'h', 'j', 'k', and 'l' for navigation, ':q' to quit.
|
|
<br>
|
|
All of the source scheme files are included.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>(load "make.scm")</b> will recompile.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>(sys-write-floppy)</b> will save changes to floppy (and only then).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>(sys-boot)</b> will reboot.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Have fun! :-)

|
|
Hard-disk installation is possible. Do not call <b>(sys-save)</b> unless your hard-drive data is expendable!
|
|
<br>
|
|
To install on your hard-drive <span class="red">(but only do this if you don't mind overwriting your hard-drive entirely!)</span>:
|
|
<br>use <b>(sys-copy)</b> to read everything from the floppy into RAM,
|
|
<br>use <b>(edit "make.scm")</b> then change the value of BOOT_FLOPPY to #f,
|
|
<br>use <b>(load "make.scm")</b> to recompile,
|
|
<br>use <b>(sys-save 0)</b> to save the image to the hard drive, then eject the floppy and use <b>(sys-boot)</b> to reboot.

This version works on my Dell Inspiron 7500, 5000 and Dell Latitude CPi laptops, but there is no telling whether it may work on anything else. Good luck!
