The Register UK ☛ SvarDOS: DR-DOS reborn as an open source OS
With its recent switch to a different kernel, SvarDOS moves from being a distro of FreeDOS to greater independence.
Until recently, the the SvarDOS project was essentially a distribution of FreeDOS. SvarDOS cut FreeDOS down into something that would run on even an 8086 or 8088 PC. SvarDOS came as four 360kB floppy images, or a single 1.4MB disk image, and didn't need a 386-class CPU or a CD-ROM drive.

Barry Kauler ☛ Daedalus many package version bumps
I posted a few days ago that Chromium 131.0.6778.85 has been compiled in OpenEmbedded -- that will be for Easy Scarthgap. For Daedalus, the Devuan repo has Chromium 131.0.6778.204, plus many more package version bumps, so they will be in the next release.
I have compiled the 6.6.67 kernel for both Scarthgap and Daedalus, as well as Broadcom PET and NVIDIA SFSs for both.
