KERNEL BUILDER UTILITY!!

Post by M@rtyn12345 »

Hey OS developers,

Would anyone be interested in a software tool that can create a bootable floppy, just by a few clicks with the mouse?

It has the following features:
- Create your own bootloader (in ASM) or edit the one that comes with the program;
- Create or edit the kernel (in C);
- Compile the kernel and/or the bootloader (using DJGPP);
- Make a bootdisk.

The first version will only create bootable floppy disks, but I'm working on a function that generates C code that can automatically make the harddisk bootable with your own kernel!

I'm also working on expanding the "Make bootdisk" function with an option to make a bootable CD-ROM.

I hope you are excited, so please let me know what you think of it...
When it's finished, the tool is (of course) totally FREE!! I'll let you know where you can download it.
