Ok just an idea to have a thread that contains all the net links that have helped people with OS dev until/if the admins put one up. (I am still waiting on gentoo compiling so I dont have access to my favourites yet but heres a list to start with:
OS EDUCATIONAL LINKS:-
Starting Out --------------
-neons- Comprehensive Guide - shows GDT in assembly
Great followup to neons guide showing use of gdt using C and Asm
skelix site guide seems good yet to try
some theory on descriptors and other stuff
OS dev wiki, contains shed loads of info and links
--------------------------------
Keyboard IO------------------
Page on kernel bootsector keyboard io I have yet to check this one out just found it
--------------------------------
Submit your OS dev educational links here!

Hiya yes alot of them will be in the wiki but I have quite a few on my main pc that arent, and although the wiki is good theres also going to be good material that isnt covered. You could then go down the route of saying well people can submit them to be added to the wiki but many people are no doubt very busy and it is much easier and less hassle for them just to put there links in a thread. Its just an idea if people want to do it fine , if not thats equally fine 
Just to finally just be brutally honest there could be alot more on the wiki than what it currently holds. If it was so comprehensive then people wouldnt be having to ask near as much questions. (Only too often I find things explained but not fully and making to many assumptions in regards to the readers lvl , where they do that they should provide decent pre reqs - I can think of one site off the top off my head which explains segment offset addressing and really shows how easy it is , uses diagrams showing memmory states as certain things are getting explained)
Anywy not wanting to turn this into a debate about this and that; thats not what its for , either submit links or just dont do it , as I said its just an idea, I dont want to hear peoples moans about it one way or the other. Just dont bother answering and I will know you didnt like it.

Yet, you did manage to find time to open this very threadmaverick777 wrote:Hiya yes alot of them will be in the wiki but I have quite a few on my main pc that arent, and although the wiki is good theres also going to be good material that isnt covered.

That's true. But consider that people must find time to contribute to it.Just to finally just be brutally honest there could be alot more on the wiki than what it currently holds.
The vast majority doesn't bother to read "How to ask questions", "prerequisites" and "beginner mistakes". Not reading is not an excuse for not undestandingIf it was so comprehensive then people wouldnt be having to ask near as much questions.
If you have time to complain, you have time to contribute(Only too often I find things explained but not fully and making to many assumptions in regards to the readers lvl , where they do that they should provide decent pre reqs - I can think of one site off the top off my head which explains segment offset addressing and really shows how easy it is , uses diagrams showing memmory states as certain things are getting explained)
