Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Using BOOT000.ASM;1 for /boot.asm~ (boot.asm)
Using SHELL000.ASM;1 for /shell.asm (shell.asm~)
Size of boot image is 3076 sectors -> genisoimage: Error - boot image '/home/bashcommando/Desktop/MyOS/V1/R1/boot.flp' has not an allowable size.
Please help

Building an operating system is like building an airplane, you don't want it to crash.
One thing I just found is that it didn't mention kernel.asm. When I ran it a second time after deleting some junk files gedit left behind I found that it didn't list any files the second time.

Learn to read. How many sectors does a 3½" floppy have?

mkisofs(8) wrote:-b eltorito_boot_image
Specifies the path and filename of the boot image to be used when making an "El Torito" bootable CD. The pathname must be relative to the source path specified to mkisofs. This option is required to make an "El Torito" bootable CD. The boot image must be exactly the size of either a 1200, 1440, or a 2880 kB floppy, and mkisofs will use this size when creating the output iso9660 filesystem. It is assumed that the first 512 byte sector should be read from the boot image (it is essentially emulating a normal floppy drive). This will work, for example, if the boot image is a LILO based boot floppy.
If the boot image is not an image of a floppy, you need to add one of the options: -hard-disk-boot or -no-emul-boot. If the system should not boot off the emulated disk, use -no-boot.
If the -sort option has not been specified, the boot images are sorted with low priority (+2) to the beginning of the medium. If you don't like this, you need to specify a sort weight of 0 for the boot images.
