borfigos is yet another operating system for the x86 architecture.
It is written for the sole purpose of studying operating system theory,
and the x86 architecture.
Requirements:
- An x86 PC, preferably a virtual one
- any standard multiboot boot loader
- an x86 tool-chain
WARNING:
--------
This operating system is not yet safe for running on real hardware!
Be warned!
Use any virtualization solution to run this operating system.
Currently, there is only a kernel and no drivers at all.
I recommend using kvm (http://www.linux-kvm.org/) with the -kernel option
to boot borfigos
# kvm -kernel borfigos.elf
GNU GRUB (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) can also be used, but I have
not tested.
To compile it, just invoke make from the top directory.
