Booting

Well, I have been trying to write an operating system for years now, and have sorta succeeded at my very first version: it boots and then - ooh! - reboots (using GRUB). Needless to say this provided me with hours of fun and enough self esteem to leave my room for a few minutes, appearing for the first time in days! Anyhoo, I have a few questions to ask.

1: I want to learn assembly, any good tuts out there? I just want to learn it for bootstrapping, though i think that it may be useful elsewhere. I tried AoA... bleck. I am by far a newb, so no advanced systems programming tuts are gonna edge-u-k8 my small brane...

2: Bootstrapping ^ see above

3: Also, when writing my kernel, i seem to be having a bit of trouble compiling... but this ALL relates to the very first 2

I learned assembly by trying and looking at other sources...
there are some assembly tutorials, but I forgot their names.

Some bootstrapping information can by found at http://www.visopsys.org/osdev/ :)

Best,
