0.6.2 is released!
By: darkrose
Well it's been a while since the last (and first) release, but there is some progress here. Features of this release include:<br />
The system boots and is usable in Internet Explorer and Opera, as well as Firefox. I haven't been able to test it in Safari though (if someone can try it and get back to me it would be appreciated).<br />
New modular kernel, this allows for browser detection and loading of custom modules to improve cross browser compatibility.<br />
Added some new commands: mkdir, cd, touch<br />
ls got a bit of a clean up too.<br /><br />
The number one bug at the moment is in Internet Explorer (of course): pressing backspace causes the browser to go back to the previous page. The problem is either in getty or bash, but I haven't been able to track it down yet.<br /><br />
So go have a look at the system <a href="http://system.weblinux-live.org/">here</a>, and you can download the WebLinux Source (28.2KB | downloads: 661) if you wanna look at and/or play with it.<br /><br />
Now it's a case of hunting down the IE backspace bug, then full steam ahead for getting X working and implementing a desktop.

does not work in AppleWebKit (Safari and Google Chrome) - it stops after printing the following:

Grub: Loading the kernel...

Also this textbox is horrendously annoying, it deletes my text whenever I focus on it (with no undo).
