X-OS v0.3.1

here is a link to the latest version of my operating system.
it's in french : type 'aide' or 'help' to get command help.

actually it support segmentation (flat mode) and paging.
azerty keyboard, and a first version of my kmalloc (bugy!!!)

X-OS works on both 16 and 32 bits, since it uses tow kernels : you can choose starting mod by editing bootconf file present in the floppy after installation. by default X-OS starts in pmode (32bits)

to install : insert a floppy and type make install.

if someon tests my OS please report me , bugs and/or code's mistakes and optimisations...

I half-expected 'faire install?e' to be the make install-command.

why not :

Code: Select all

#/etc/profile

alias 'make'='faire'

and ...

Code: Select all

#Makefile

...
installer : install

install : ....
           ....

I (as well as probably most of the board) are more than wiling to help you put some english sentences in their correct form. Probably a quarter to half the board can understand some french, so you can even post the french ones along to help with translating.

HTH soon, Candy

PS: that faire installer was a joke :). I hate other-languaged programs, even though I'm dutch myself. Been trying to get my girlfriend to the control panel, and after 25 minutes she told me she had found it in the "configuratiescherm". Guess what that translates to?

Scherm is dutch ::)
And I know that, because I'm Dutch ;)
And to aladdin, wouldn't be handy if you included a "DOS" bootloader, so I can boot it from the DOS prompt, because I don't have a floppy drive, and I'm still waiting for it, so ;)
