TinyKRNL is a bootleg live Windows XP environment by Kenneth, It is based on PicoXP with the Win32 subsystem being removed. Just within 2 3½-inch 1.44MB floppies making it smaller than PicoXP. It is currently the smallest XP bootleg in the collection.
Description
TinyKRNL uses Native Mode. the same one where the chkdsk tool is launched when it needs to check and fix errors in the system partition.
Changes from Windows XP
- Removal of pretty much everything.
- The banner and palette when booted is a darkish blue.
- As the OS is in native mode, no Windows programs run, as they are part of the Win32 subsystem and is not present in this OS, same goes for DOS programs because they need to be virtualized with NTVDM in the NT kernel, and that also requires the Win32 subsystem so it will not work either.
