This is an OS?
My OS project (http://www.loper-os.org/ http://www.loper-os.org/) has been accused of having a 10:1 hot air to code ratio bytewise, but at least I have written a bootloader which initializes hardware and prints "Hello World." This man currently has "prototypes in a mix of C# and Nemerle." Does he intend to recreate Microsoft's complete runtime environment on the bare metal? Are we to laugh or cry?
- daeken 17y agoErr, I think you're looking at the "Background" section of my previous post. In the one linked in this post, I give a bootable kernel in Boo which implements basic functionality.
- asciilifeform 17y agoWhere is the bootloader? Where is any code which runs outside of Windows? I could not find it in your tree.
- daeken 17y agoThe bootloader is GRUB. I haven't tested building TestKernel on anything but MS.NET, but you can give it a shot. Follow the instructions at the GitHub repo ( http://github.com/daeken/RenrakuOS/tree/master http://github.com/daeken/RenrakuOS/tree/master , also linked in my post), and if you're running on a non-Windows platform, you'll have to install nasm and point the build script to that instead of the exe that ships.
