The codename for this release is Kuroko.

Instructions

You may download the source archive and build it as you normally would following the instructions in the README, or you may download the ISO image and use it with a virtual machine or burn it to an actual CD. Note that hardware support in ToaruOS continues to be limited and it may not work with your PC. If you experience issues, please join our IRC channel (#toaruos) on Freenode for assistance.

QEMU

For the best access to ToaruOS's features, run QEMU as follows:

qemu-system-i386 -vga std -m 512 -cdrom toaruos.iso \
-enable-kvm -soundhw ac97 -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139

VirtualBox

Support for VirtualBox has improved in this release. For best results, configure your VM with 512MB of RAM and use the default settings for other options and then use the ISO release as a CD. Network support on VirtualBox is not yet available, but a PCNet driver is in the works, so please check back later.

Notice

This release is not being marked as "pre-release" on github, but please remember that ToaruOS is a hobby project and not in any way designed or intended for use on production systems.
