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?

You. Loud mouth. Stop posting.

Minix and links-hacked. Both of which I have customized since
they're small enough for one person to read and follow.

command.com from DOS is what you want I guess. Note there are
a lot of hacked DOSes. Most of them make it bigger instead of smaller, though. Like HX-DOS which extends DOS to run some Windows programs. DJ Delorie was a DOS leader at one time. Simtel had a lot of DOS resources. And DOS' predecessors like CP/M and QDOS can probably still be found in ftp archives.
