There are two versions available:

  • toaruos-core.iso - No local package repository for minimal size. Suitable for VM users.
  • toaruos-extra.iso - Core ToaruOS with a local package repository on the CD. Suitable for users with no network access (eg., running ToaruOS on real hardware without a supported network chipset) or users with slow Internet access who want to have access to the package repository.

What's New

  • libc: Added support for + flag in printf, resolving a gcc issue with building some applications.
  • kernel: The network stack will now close TCP connections when their sockets are closed.
  • msk: The package manager now supports multiple remotes, including network remotes.
  • bim: Bug fixes and added syntax support for conf files.
  • other: Added support for using a TCP connection to run a remote shell, which offers considerable speed improvements over the serial console. Run nc -l 8090 on the host and then use sudo petty /dev/net/10.0.2.1:8090 to attach a login session.
