ABSD Developer Preview RC1: a downloadable, unsigned QEMU preview.

Start with QUICKSTART.md (attached). It covers downloading, verifying checksums, creating and enrolling a machine with your own SSH key, booting under QEMU, and logging in.

What this is: a single-operator ABSD system that runs in QEMU on an x86-64 host, with one virtual CPU, at least 256 MiB of RAM, an IDE disk and e1000 networking with static IPv4. You reach it over SSH.

Not in this preview: physical hardware, ARM64, multiple CPUs, IPv6, UDP, DNS, DHCP or outbound network connections from the guest, or in-place upgrade or rollback. To update, replace the machine with a newer preview, as QUICKSTART describes. QUICKSTART and MANIFEST.toml list the limitations.

Integrity: these files are unsigned. SHA256SUMS detects corruption; it does not prove who produced the files.

Source:

  • The attached absd-rc1-boot-corresponding-source.tar holds the corresponding source for the GRUB and GNU Unifont boot components. absd-rc1-third-party-notices.tar.gz holds the third-party notices.
  • No first-party ABSD source release accompanies RC1.
  • The "Source code" archives GitHub attaches automatically to this release are the earlier public source preview (absd-preview-20261010) at the tagged commit. They are not RC1's source.

Release id inside the files: absd-rc1-c12c-20261018t161241z.fvcgzh.
