SvarDOS: DR-DOS is reborn as an open source operating system
A #DOScember surprise: fits on a single floppy, but has a network-capable package manager
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.
