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 would recomend atleast a Pentium 2 Class System or higher however.

All things are subject to change at any time.

|
## Building
|
|
You Basically Run `./build.sh` to build it
|
|
|
|
If you wanted to write it to a floppy disk you can use `write.sh` tho be careful as the value for what drive it uses is hard coded as /dev/sdb
|
|
|
|
### Build Requirements
|
|
- mtools
|
|
- make
|
|
- gcc (or really any C compiler)
|
|
- NASM

## 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 (for anyone wondering its completely maxed out. [2GB of ram Pentium M @ 2.23GHz])
