I found MenuetOS today. An entire GUI OS that can be contained on a single 1.44MB floppy disk!
It is written in x86 assembler and there is a 32-bit and 64-bit version. A new version was released yesterday.
Add it to Easy2Boot and try it out for a bit of fun!
1. Download the floppy image file M64-0.99.58.ZIP - or the 32-bit version
2. Unzip it to obtain .img file - e.g. M6409958.IMG
3. Copy the file to your E2B drive - e.g. to the \_ISO\MAINMENU folder
4. Try it!
Test using a Real system or QEMU. If you use VirtualBox, I found I needed to set a SB16 Sound adapter in the Virtual Machine or disable it, and also disable VTx CPU acceleration and set a 32-bit OS. You may need to tweak a few settings to get it to run in VBox.
A more recent version of MenuetOS is Kolibri. The .img file still is only 1.44MB but it has network support, a basic text-only internet browser (WebView) and many games.
The forum is here, downloads here (.iso or .img works). To run under a VBox VM, I used - linux 32-bit, Sound Blaster 16, IDE, VTx OFF. This boots in just a few seconds!
