This news has been slashdoted: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/05/17/0242244/Boot-Linux-In-Your-Browser The link with Buildroot ? According to the technical details page at http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html, the system used for the demo has been generated with Buildroot: ? The disk image is just a ram disk image loaded at boot time. It contains a filesystem generated with Buildroot containing BusyBox. I added my toy C compiler TinyCC and my unfinished but usable emacs clone QEmacs. ?
