Bonebox-01: 29KB Bare‑Metal x86 OS Aims to Outsize Tiny Core

Bonebox-01 is a minimalist operating system for x86 hardware. It fits in just 29 KB of storage, far smaller than typical OS footprints. The OS runs directly on bare metal without a host operating system. Its design targets a total size of 80 KiB, challenging the Tiny Core distribution. Developers created it to demonstrate extreme code efficiency and low overhead. The project is posted on GitHub for community review and contribution. Bonebox-01 includes basic boot and I/O routines to support simple applications. It serves as a reference for developers interested in ultra‑lightweight OS design.
