Download - File Types

All of the files are zipped.  You will need a program such as WinZip (Windows) or GNU unzip (Linux/UNIX) to unzip them.  These are the different kinds of files available for download:

ISO image

Bootable .iso CD-ROM image file which includes the full Visopsys distribution.  You can burn the ISO file to a CD-ROM, or use it directly with an emulator such as VMware or Virtual PC.


USB image

Bootable .img image file which includes the full Visopsys distribution.  It can be written to a (minimum 30Mb) USB memory stick using a program such as Image Writer For Windows (Linux/UNIX users can use the built-in 'cat' or 'dd' commands).  This is a full-device image, including a partition layout.


Floppy disk
