This thread is for tracking the development of the 4MLinux 43 series.

4MLinux 43.0 Core BETA released.

This is a core system (only about 15 MB in size) for the 4MLinux 43 series. The system includes: the Linux kernel 6.1.10, GNU C Library 2.37, and BusyBox 1.36.1. The 4MLinux 43 series uses GNU Compiler Collection 12.2.1 to compile programs designed for the x86_64 architecture.

Despite its extremely small size, 4MLinux Core supports both BIOS and UEFI boot modes.
