Well, there's always Mike OS, it's assembly language only, with C library and api to write C code for it... If that's minimalistic enough for you, at least you won't be bothered by Perl or Python ! (but the guy doing Mike OS, Mike Saunders, is also writing Python columns for LinuxFormat magazine... There's tools for every job). http://mikeos.berlios.de/ Cheers, Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
