Beginner needs a start ;)

[maakera]

Hi, i just started studying Operating System development and i need your help to get me going.

I want to start making an OS in C. Now i know theres ton's of other language's what i can use to make an Operating System but the fact is, that i am way more experienced in c than assembly or c++ or whatever.

What i mean by getting me going is that i need a start. I actually don't know how to begin.
All i know is that i have to write an bootloader and kernel. (made the bootloader in assembly).

But i would prefer that kernel and everything else what i attend to add is written in C, because my C language skills are rather extended.

I already have started taking lesson's in Operating System's but they aren't helping much.


Hope you can help
