I wanna develop an Operating system!

Any tips?
If you have to ask.... perhaps you should rethink? I wrote one back in college, mostly because I couldn't afford the ProDOS upgrade to my Apple ][ and I was bored. Do something unusual like I did like provide a Lexical Analysis front end (natural speech understanding) or real-time event management. Just making an OS for the heck of it is not a great idea. Doing so to learn how one does it, that's a reasonable idea. But if you have to ask for help, you are not ready to write an OS. Perhaps you can study all the work on Linux, FreeDOS, and others first? The time it would take a single person to write a modern OS is too long. Sure you could probably write a text DOS like FreeDOS in a few weeks if you had nothing else to do, but to hand it out? Linux and Windows all have graphical front ends, so to make it modernly "useful" you have several years worth of individual work. Why not put some of the effort into improving what is available rather than writing something new? Though if you want to rewrite my LANA OS, I won't complain, but the Cheryl Tiegs front end is rather old for today's world (and shows when I wrote it). You might want to upgrade that interface to a newer uh... "model" (pun intended). _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Open a project at SourceForge then after 10 years developing you'll get DOS with a user interface, got 20 years to catch up!! Good luck, let me know if I can help in 20 years when you are developing a .NET platform Cheers Al

If you're serious
Grrr.... How many times I told I am damn serious. Right from my college days I am reading and reading and thinking and thinking about this. I have learned a lot. And I am starting off with the BootLoader. Let's see. I am buying a trial computer(A Guinea pig...He he).

Thanks ravi for this. I have this already. A very cute book.

Browsing through thru the Linux source code can also be educational, though not easy.
Ravi can you tell me where can I find. I am not able to find a specific location. I need help in this.:sigh: Once again thanks mate:-D. You are very encouraging.:->

Don't listen to the nay-sayers. After all, Linux started with just one person. I say however, its gonna require a lot of study, and I mean A LOT. And plenty of work -- too much for one person in fact. It's best to either start a group or join one if you want to make a full-fledged OS. If you're looking to join one, then this project would surely love help and you can learn so much from then. http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/index.html[^] Jeremy Falcon

Yeap. Well said. You have a good mind.

Ask me. I spent hours and hours and hours......No end. (God help me). But I enjoy every bit of it.

I will make it.:-D

My brother dropped the disk in a bucket of mop water to p*ss me off to see if he could make me mad enough to have an excuse to well, finish what he often tried to do. I never rewrote it. It was pretty corny even for the day. Took the Cheryl Tiegs pictorial images from ... err... a magazine known for staples through belly buttons in the day. And animated the mouth via sprite slide animation. She didn't speak, per se, I hated the sound from SAM synthesizer of the day, so I never linked the two, but the sentance structure interpretation rivaled anything else of the day. :) It was still fun to write, just never rewrote it using modern methods. maybe a 3D interface with ... err... soft-body physics... a bit of "bounce" with excitement... :) that would do. Though I think I would choose the bounce of Drew Barrymore today... or perhaps Christy Canyon.... :rolleyes: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Actually, just because MS took that long doesn't mean it's required. Also, it's stupid to think MS is the only company out there that can do it because it takes work. For all you know, this guy could be the next Bill G and people would look stupid on this post then. Maybe he won't be either, but that's called life. What's the damn point of life without a goal anyway. Jeremy Falcon
