Floppy Disk, and Other Questions

I am obviously new to ComputerCraft 1.11.2 (there is a Professional Download from the Curse page), and I am trying to replicate a….. VIRUS (ahem), and other things, can anyone help?


1. How do I save things to a Floppy Disk (with tutorial)
2. How do I open things from the Floppy Disk?
3. How do I create the Simplest OS (or advanced… but im new)
4. Some OSes do not run, and why? Im doing pastebin run ******

That is about it for now. Reply in the same order of the list.

-1. ComputerCraft is not available for minecraft 1.11.2 from Curse…
0. We don't provide help for viruses / malicious code
1. Check the fs API
2. Same as #1
3. Don't. Seriously, do not make an "OS".
4. Can you provide an example? Some may not work in the first place. Others may have issues with changed functionality.

The YellowSim (or whatever it was) im trying to login, but it does not load for me.

And Also, where is fs API

1 & 2. Here's a link to the fs api entry in the ComputerCraft wiki

3. The community really doesn't need another "OS", I'd strongly suggest almost any other project

4. I may be incorrect, but it's my understanding that some programs don't work when launched with pastebin run; you will have to download them and run them from your actual system using pastebin get <pastebin URL> <filename>

I do that, I can run an OS, but most OSes dont work for me.

Along with that, I still don't get how to save, and open the Floppy Disk, can you give a Direction by Direction way of how to do it?

Floppy disks are automatically mounted in a folder. /disk for the first drive, /disk2 for the second, etc. Use the fs api to access /disk/whatever_file_you_want the same as you'd access any other file on the computer's local drive.

Screw it, I don't know what to do.

What exactly don't you understand? Is it the documentation for the FS API? Is it the difference between reading/writing a local drive vs. a disk drive? Something else?
