first you probably want to learn some x86 assembly (i assume this is the platform ) and check out http://www.osdever.net/ and the wiki here. there are also a few tutorials you can follow: http://www.mt2002.sitesled.com/OSDevIndex.html/ (this site is temp. down right now so youll have to wait awhile)


good luck!

we should have a notice at the home page of osdev that says: "If you are new to os development please check the wiki first before asking on the forum"

in fact, i dont know why we haven't done this already.

Maybe we should have a sticky that talks about that.
