How make an image file with mkifs for a floppy disk to execute a photon
application
on a target (PC) ?
I’m looking for an example !

Are you trying to make a bootable standalone floppy that will contain Photon
and a Photon application? If so I think you will be hard pressed to get
all this to fit on a single floppy. I am currently working on several examples
of what files you might need to include on a target for a specific purpose.
For example I am working on a listing of the miminum files you will need
to run Photon. If this would be useful to you, I can send this to you when
it is completed.

Has there been any discussion to create a GUI based “image builder” tool?
As shown by the number of post about this issue, it appears this process
is rather tedious to most people.

The QNX TS team is working on just such a tool :slight_smile:
