[pierrel5]

Hi,

I have finished the first version of my OS

Named Pocket OS, it is similar to DOS (single task, but allow smp)

If somebody is interrested to test it, it can be dowload at

I wanted to add it in OS project list but don't know how to do this.

Cheers,
Pierre

Nice OS I tried it on my laptop, it works fine.
May you provide an English version of the keyboard map?
It is very hard to guess the position of the keys

[CommunistPancake]

Added it to the project list.

FYI: Join the forum group "wiki" to edit pages.

Thank you Karlosoft for testing

I will add keyboard maps asap.

English keyboard is default if no maps loaded.

You can comment "keyb keymap/keyb_fr.map" in autoexec.sh (I forgot to do it in the default version)

It's a very interesting operating system you have. Very simple operating systems are always the best...
Keep up the good work!

[pierrel5]

thank you f2

I have added keymaps and now default is us-std
Keymap can be changed by editing autoexec.sh or by typing command
keyb keymap/keyb_xxx.map (xxx is language, see files in keymap directory)

Available keymaps are
french
german
italian
japanese
polish
scandinav
spanish
uk
us
