yaOSp 0.0.3

[giszo]

Hi!

We're proud to announce the third version of yaOSp, 0.0.3! You can get a
bootable CD-ROM image from here: http://files.yaosp.org/release/0.0.3/ya ... .3-img.iso.

A quick overview on the changelog of this release:
* full ext2 read and write support
* python has been integrated into the OS
* our own shell is replaced with bash
* new input system (this is the first step to the GUI)
* the ELF loader has been rewritten fully
* a lot of other fixes and improvements ...

Please test it and feel free to give any kind of feedback. We already
started to create wiki pages as documentation to help new users how to use
the system. You can read the wiki here: http://wiki.yaosp.org

Here are some screenshots:

Virtual PC 2007:
Halts on boot after printing a list of memory mappings.

VirtualBox 2.2.2:
Halts on boot after printing 'Loading module: pci'.
After disabling VT-x it boots successfully.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately I don't have access to Virtual PC, so I couldn't test it. I'll try to get one and do some debugging

um.. it's free.. (though it's closed source and for windows only)

edit:
how sad it's GPL..
but really looks very impressive.. has anyone else gotten this far in an OS? I mean python and GCC!? purely amazing really...

Wow, I'm really impressed. I think you could use some more userland tools though; a text editor of some sort would be nice. It works fine under VirtualBox 2.2.2 btw.

Thanks. We have a lot of plans, but our time we can spend on the development of yaOSp is limited

Just tested in QEMU, seems to work fine. Only found one slight problem - I ran init from the applications directory and it loaded another shell, and the input on that shell doesn't work right: have to press keys twice to get them to show up, and then when I press enter the characters it tries to run are not what I'd typed.

Yes, my OS can run GCC, Binutils and Ruby, as can Pedigree

I never tried to execute the init application manually after boot, but these kind of reports/tests are good, because they cover those scenarios that I'd never think of. I already fixed the init stuff, so it can be executed only at boot time

Thanks for your time and reply.
