I expected a bit more new features and bugfixes in 0.02 (it looks kinda a fork of first Linux, so it could be a little more advanced), SeaOS0.01 doesn't differ... maybe it's the curse of google's motto "release early, release often".
Also because your kernel/OS has been restarted X times with no result at all. A waste of time?

My native lang is beautiful and has, I think, more than English, but that doesn't matter now. I posted "Could you restrain from using your flowers of speech?" because I didn't fully understood

First Try: Got it kindof working. Stopped due to: I couldn't figure out MM, and didn't have much time to give it a good shot. I also got too hung up with graphics.

Second Try: Wasn't really a try. I wasn't programming my kernel, I used an existing one and created an INIT process for it in experimenting with an actual OS.

Third: This one. It has been going well, and the setbacks I can get over. This is an actual attempt.
My OS isn't the only one that has restarted.

It's not a waste of time, it's my hobby. The nature of hobbies is that generally in this sense they take a little while. Up till now, I was the only one working on it.

EDIT: You do realize that this is only a beta version?

Yes it is wrong to say it. Everyone's OS is crap at one time or other. Remember when you wrote that first "Hello, World!" OS? That was crap too.

I think we have a problem.. it drew a square instead of a rectangle

What do you mean?

-JL

It does draw a square rather than a rectangle under Virtualbox.

Crits:
-Your missing the echo command. That is always the first thing I look for in an OS because it amuses me soooo much.

-Half the time under VirtualBox the command line will come up and then it will output "[Kernel] Idle\n"* causing the cursor to show up without the sea$ prompt. Probably just a Virtualbox quirk though.

-The lack of a flashing cursor led to much confusion for me being primarily a dos user (out of the command lines). The first time I started it up I sat there for a minute or so waiting for a long log of actions like linux does. Then when that wasn't happening I became annoyed and banged on the keyboard only to realize that sea$ was the prompt I was looking for. I would suggest a flashing cursor until the user starts typing to be nice to us DOS users. Just a suggestion though.

*'\n' being the symbol for newline in C++

A square is a rectangle, isn't it?

The code specifies a square I think.

Ok, flashing cursor, got it!

The kernel idle message is a scheduling issue, it happens occationally to me.
Thanks,
