Re: Add PGP/GPG signed image files

Your binaries can't be trusted. Feel free to build KolibriOS images yourself, it's an open source project. No, I simply won't use it at all. And since I can program in assembly language, but can't even test it due to the lack of a trustworthy source, I probably won't contribute anything to the proj...

Re: Add PGP/GPG signed image files

In this case you have a security hole. Your binaries can't be trusted. There could also be an intention behind this, so that you could deny that Kolibri OS is used to distribute malware. Then you would still have an excuse and could say that you are not qualified to set up proper security. The damag...

Re: Add PGP/GPG signed image files

Our build and download servers are the same server. If I understand correctly, hacking the server will not only allow an attacker to replace binaries but to sign anything too. Is there any sense in signing for such a setup? Of course there is. If you are a normal user and have already the public ke...

Add PGP/GPG signed image files

How can i trust the image files on the download page? https://www.kolibrios.org/en/download.htm Could you add some sort of GPG/PGP signatures to the image files and put some effort into making these images trustworthy? In principle, the existing Kolibri image files are excellently suited to compromi...

Does Kolibri OS have some sort of floppy disk image creation tool to read floppy disks and save them as image file?

Does Kolibri OS have some sort of floppy disk image creation tool to read floppy disks and save them as an image file? Comparable to dd (Unix/Linux), rawread (DOS/Windows) or ImageDisk (DOS)? By the way, if anyone is also creating tutorials or videos about these kinds of tools, there are now AI-powe...

Re: Can't get KolibriOS to work on 386

Why not make the assembler code of the OS multi-CPU compatible and thus multi-target capable? Aren't there assemblers available that allow to use different subprograms to build the binary code depending on the CPU processor used? With such an assembler, you could replace these Pentium assembler inst...
