hakware version 1.0 is out. deal with it.

it fits on a floppy and uses the dos bootloader (too lazy to find something else). looks like linux, but runs dos programs.
it needs:
io.sys
bios.sys
386 with a color graphic card (for the gui)
written originally in QBasic as a shell but now takes the place of the command processor.
