Installation

In order to build this from source ...

1. Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install grub-legacy xorriso

2. Build the ISO image

make mykernel.iso

3. Run on a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or VM Ware

Tip

At this point, you can use a Lightweight Operating System like TinyCore Linux, to prepare the disk for testing :

• Use sudo fdisk <disk ex: /dev/sda> to make a partition table
• Use a tool like mkfs.vfat to make a FAT32 file-system
• Mount the disk, and do cd /mnt/sda1
• Now you can create 2-3 files to try read from
• It will be a while before we create a Directory Parser, since we'll need to create a standard library using dynamic allocation before we get to
