I am thinking about making a small OS/EXE loader that boots, go into pmode set up a flat memory mode (upto 4GB),Comes with a set of drivers eg:floppy,atapi,keyboard etc, and a set of function to make programing easier, For programmer's who want to make programs like Recordingegr's "multitrack audio application" etc. That do not want to make the OS themselves, This will be a OS that is made to load just one program and all it's associated file etc, It will be multi-threading, But not multi-tasking, Like a modern day 32bit pmode Dos, But smaller and better graphics,memory etc.
1) Do you think there is a need for such a OS ?.
2) What things do you think should be included eg: driver's, functions etc ?.
3) What is the best way to interface with the program eg: it loads a default exe, it has a menu etc ?.
PS: I have most of the code already done.
Thanks in advance.
