I am a leaner. :-[Is there any anticle that show how to write OS step by step. ;D
Not as such, no; the closest thing to that would be books like MMURTL 1.0 or Operating Systems: Design and Implementation (see the Book Recommendations thread for the details of these).
While Emmanuel Marty made a valiant attempt at it in So You Want to Write an OS and Climbing the Kernel Mountain], OS design is far too large a topic to cover in an article, or even a series of articles. However, there are today a vast number of resources on the web which discuss separate parts of OS design; see the .:Quicklinks:. thread for pointers to several of them, and especially read the OS Developers FAQ to get a sense of what you need to do and where to find the resources you need.
Finally, not to put to fine a point on it, but you may want to read the Asking Useful Questions HOWTO for advice on how to get the most out of forums like these (yes, I know it's by Ego Slut Raymond, but the advice actually is pretty good - just teasing, Eric!). HTH.
Oh, and don't worry about being a newbie; OS design is a field with very few old hands, and even they are always finding out new things they didn't know. Welcome to the forum.
