#8159: Terminal as Replicant -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: fano | Owner: jackburton Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Terminal | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by fano): Yes I'm thinking to use it to (I hope in 3 years can be done) to replace a commandline linux see this "mokup" (imagine BTerminal as a replicant) attached, I've tried to modify too bootscript to obtain this: * Tracker with a Terminal occuping the center 80% of the screen on 9 Screen (ALT+F# as on Linux change screen a screen == a virtual console, right?), Terminal is replicant * Tracker has not Desktop icons * No Deskbar if BTerminal it is not sufficient, use Launchpad * In the right bottom corner a new replicant to show Date & Time * Mediakit, Printer Kit, Debug Server (in a production enviroment core does NOT exists, right?) and so on... REMOVED! * Remove more application (that) you can... a cmdline need BePDF? No, remove! A cmdline needs a WebPositive? No, remove! ... and so on * Try to obtain to smallest image possible (the new package manager I suppose permits to boot from a compressed /Boot volume), it should go in a flash 256 MB is OK, 128 is better, 64 is awesome * In this "personality" Haiku can work on a simple AVR RISC CPU or in a Pentium I with 32 MB of Ram, without a problem, IMHO :-) So we'll do it? If you want to give me some pointers I can do it myself, no problem I like a lot to play with Haiku API,it's fun :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8159#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
