A Very small OS that can run on X86 Hardware.
|
|
|
|
Good luck figuring out the spagetti code i write... (sorry not sorry ;D)
|
|
|
|
Designed for older computers such as a Pentium (i586) Class Machine.
|
|
I however would recomend atleast a Pentium 2 Class System or higher.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|

- Support for the GNU GRUB 2 Bootloader and Multiboot V2

|
|
All things are subject to change at any time.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
Run `./build.sh` inside main directory of repo
|
|
|
|
To write to a disk, use `./write.sh` WARNING: **is hard coded to /dev/sdb** (sorry i suck at scripting)
|
|
|
|
You could also run `make all` but the scripts a bit better tbh, it even automates starting QEMU.
|
|
|
|
### Build Requirements
|
|
- make
|
|
- gcc (or really any C compiler)
|
|
- nasm
|
|
|
|
#### Only Required to Build the Image
|
|
|
|
- grub2
|
|
- parted
|
|
|
|
## How is Testing Done
|
|
Testing is mostly done with QEMU These days, but I do sometimes pull out my Dell Latitude D610 to test on real hardware (for anyone wondering its completely maxed out. [2GB of ram Pentium M @ 2.23GHz])
