Restart and boot from the flash drive and prepare to be impressed by Kolibri OS.The Kaman K-MAX (company designation K-1200) is a helicopter with intermeshing rotors (synchropter) designed and produced by the American manufacturer Kaman Aircraft.ĭeveloped during the 1980s and 1990s, the K-MAX builds on the work of the German aeronautical engineer Anton Flettner. Copy the file “BOOT F32.BIN” and “kolibri.img”(situated in “kolibri0.7.7.0 imgen” to the pen drive and you’re good to go!. 7z archive and navigate to “kolibri 0.7.7.0img enHDloadUSB_Boot” and run “inst.exe” a window will open listing drive letters, double click the letter that is your flash drive and pop up will show up if the process was successful. 
Prepare a USB flash drive that is formatted to fat32. Download Kolibri OS from their website, you’re going to want to grab the Floppy disk image. So here are some brief steps to get you started running Kolibri OS from a USB flash drive by using windows 32 bit. I could spend hours gushing over this marvel but the only way you’ll understand where I’m coming from is by trying it out for yourself. I’m running it off a USB flash drive on a 10 year old 500Mhz pentium III and it boots in 2 seconds, I’m not joking, once the post screen shows up it is literally 2 seconds until Kolibri is completely booted and ready to go, then opening any program is instant. Well for starters the entire OS with those 200 programs fits on a Floppy disk, the entire download with installers and a plethora of skins is only 3.4MB! Now once you get over how ludicrous that sounds I can start mentioning why on earth you would do this. Kolibri OS is written entirely in Assembler code. Now you thinking “but any linux distro has all this and more!” and you’d be right but Kolibris OS is very different. 
Kolibri OS is an x86 Operating System, it comes with over 200 programs covering file managers, calculator, calendar, performance monitors, gpu stress tests, web browser, irc client, ftp clients and servers, word processor, mp3 player, 3D games like doom and quake, DOSbox, ZX spectrum, NES and scummvm emulators, the list is pretty big. To round off 2012 I’m going to finally get around to mentioning an amazing project I stumbled across several years ago.
