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.

I am highly interested.

Make sure you tell me where to download it when it's done

Ciao

I'm already making one for pk0.8...in win32 and linux ;D

It's not finished yet, but here you can download it in the future:

And Tom: Funny we meet here again! I'm the one that helped you with the bug in fstdio.h for printing integers!!
