So, as you may know, I have restarted my kernel work.
Here is a new website: http://seakernel.googlepages.com/
and yeah. Tell me what you think of the site.
Don't bother downloading the floppy (unless you want to) because it really does nothing yet.

Quite simplistic. I'm lovin' your color scheme, but am wondering why the main text is aligned as it is.

Overall, IMO, nice.

what he said, but thats a good thing, at least if you ask me.

I like it. If you notice (I think this is what alboin was talking about) the headings (Sea Kernel, Features etc) are all indented by ~4px. While the indent is probably deliberate, as it is it feels like the text is misaligned / accidental. I would suggest either removing the indent or making it larger so as to look more deliberate

Plus the floppy image doesn't do anything - it just freezes the bios. Is that deliberate? Or is there no bootsector installed?

It does? What are you using to test it? It works on VMware 6.0....huh.

qemu.

Well, I can't get qemu to work.....It does nothing, displays nothing, just prints 'segentation fault' on my terminal. angry.

piranha, You don't have a good and strong conception about your operating system/kernel. Why you are doing these senseless rewrites? You wouldn't be successful with them. It would be good to have a somewhat-working kernel (or I would welcome it).
I post on the net only things that have no known bugs, or else I will notify about them. I don't post programs that could have cathastrophical effects, programs/OS kernel that will do nothing, and even untested pre-alpha programs. And before uploading on the internet (for example PortixOS kernel), I test it on three emulators: MS VPC 2007, QEMU, Bochs, and then on my testbed(s) and my main development PC to certify the maximum stability and security. And if that fails, I warn about things that are non-working before the user would download the program.

Yeah, I know, my site is empty, but that's because I've got school hanging on my throat, literally. I don't want my report card to contain more than two 2's (A- or B's in american school systems)

1) I'm not rewriting my OS. First I worked on the kernel, and then I switched to developing a Linux Distribution, and after a while, I started the kernel work. I haven't rewritten it more then once.
2) I agree, and I was unaware of the qemu bug. I will be testing it more once it actually does something. I just wanted put up a separate, better website then my Linux one. I also wanted to test the uploading/downloading feature of googlepages.
However, I appreciate your insight.

Very nice and clean site, I love it...and I think the indent looks fine....

Antivirus: TSR.BOOT virus found.
My OS image does the same thing!

I emailed technical support and send them my boot sector code. They changed the virus databaze so it wouldn't trigger the false alarm, but now, somebody in the corp. has changed the virbase, and now my PortixOS diskettes are being welcome with "an unknown TSR.BOOT virus" in the boot sector. Just like in your OS. I think I will email them again

(I have the antivirus name hidden. You surely know what AV I'm using, I don't want to advertise )
