OS BUILDING

GOALS:
Fit on a floppy disk
x86 Architecture
Basic File operations (Delete, Move, Create Dir, list, run)
Simple programs running on the CPU itself

How would I go about doing this. What language should I use?

Speaks the truth. The documentation is out there and people have done it. But it ain't easy.


It's fucktons easier to do on a simple embedded environment. (e.g. Motorola/Freescale based system with code on ROM and any persistent date on BBU RAM) I'm writing a simple multitasking OS for a course in school. Not very hard. Really really fun stuff.
