<OriansJ>no comments, problems, suggestions or anything else? <OriansJ>perhaps it is me being stubborn but I think guixsd could use an install iso that fits on a 50MB 60mm mini-cd; while M2-Planet, mescc-tools and a POSIX should be able to fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk <OriansJ>I reallly need to fix mescc-tool's guix build script <OriansJ>which raises teh question of which sha256 tool guix exposes in build environment by default <Hagfish>"... a POSIX should be able to fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk" <Hagfish>would it come with some sort of network stack that could download the remaining source? <OriansJ>Hagfish: probably something minimal like gopher <Hagfish>yeah, i read a thread on hackernews about how to bootstrap an OS / network client, and they recommended gopher <OriansJ>now the question is that actually good advice. as most bootstrapping advice turns out to be absolute garbage <OriansJ>equal to informing Windows users to just "install gentoo" <OriansJ>ok looks like the default guix build environent doesn't support which <Hagfish>i think the bootstrap question was not designed to be practical, more philosophical (the question had many different answers depending on how you interpreted it) <OriansJ>Hagfish: but wouldn't it be a practical question here? as that is exactly what we are trying to achieve. <fossy>I maintain one of the foremost gopher servers <fossy>FWIW I am packaging rust bootstrap in void linux <fossy>and will package everything down to tcc soon <fossy>convincing them to accept will be the hard part <fossy>but we have a lot of work to do before network <fossy>mes c library has 0 networking support <fossy>but let's just keep chugging on, coding and scripting <fossy>I will be also targeting alpine Linux to bring a bootstrap to them
