I am new, so I don't really know anything. But What is needed for an OS (program wise and can you give an exampple)
Thanks
I have a Question?
Re:I have a Question?
Hi,
For a modern general purpose OS I'd say you need some boot code, a kernel, some device detection code, some power management code, a lot of device drivers, networking protocols, firewall, file systems and file system tools (format, defrag, checkdisk), an "fdisk" utility or partition manager, an OS installer, a GUI and a package management utility (or "system update" utility).
For a small embedded OS all you'd probably need is a kernel.
Cheers,
Brendan

For all things; perfection is, and will always remain, impossible to achieve in practice. However; by striving for perfection we create things that are as perfect as practically possible. Let the pursuit of perfection be our guide.
