Try it in QEMU/KVM

ToroOS is built by using fpc-3.2.0 and the embedded-i386 rtl. Also, we are currently relying on a modified version of Qemu/KVM. This is a temporal solution until we get rid of the floppy driver. To build Toro from master, please follow the next instructions to build a Docker image to work with ToroOS:

apt install x11-xserver-utils
xhost +
git clone https://github.com/torokernel/ToroOS.git
cd ToroOS/ci
docker build --no-cache -t toroos-dev .
cd ..
./make_all.sh

This launches ToroOS by using QEMU like in the following picture:
