NetworkOS

Use cmake .. in a build folder. then do make build to build an iso, or make run to run it in qemu-system-i386

Dependencies

• nasm
• i686-elf toolchain, including gcc and ld
• dd (unless on windows in which case modify the CMakeLists.txt)
• qemu for use of qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x86_64

Why?

I wanted to make a simplistic Networking Operating System for fun and for expandability. Kind of like a TempleOS. Learning operating system development is extremely interesting, and learning the different aspects of what makes a program tick, from the function call to the internal assembly. Understanding the design decisions that people in the 90s made (and understanding why they're still being used) gives context into what makes a program live long and prosper. Also, it's fun being challenged to create code that has an extremely high chance of randomly breaking. (Also to add that a bug could be caused by anything from reading an incorrect number of sectors to the C compiler putting a ud2 instruction.)

How? (can you demo this yourself)?

Build it yourself using all the dependencies above. Keep in mind that you will need to make significant changes to make the build file work on Windows or Linux (but on macOS it works).

Or, download an ISO from the releases section below and test it out yourself on [https://copy.sh/v86].

Thanks and have a nice day !!!!!!
