ok, point noted from TC's mail... I tend to agree with him on the need to maintain a good threading order... easier to delete whole threads that way!! coming to the point, for the new comers,Karthik wants to modify the linux 0.01 kernel with some additions of his own and get it up and running.. The kernel code is available from http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/ and also from the CD accompanying the linux kernel internals book (Beck) He also found a site which gives a commentary on the kernel code, from http://pramode.net/ and his latest attempts are to get the kernel to boot on his >i386 m/c. K, wrt my efforts, I am in the process of getting a working linux setup at home (yeah, I didn't have onw at home, was dependent on knoppix!!), although I do recall linus mentioning in the README along with the srcs that he is supplying a compiled bash and some other stuff... you will have to give me a coupla days before I get up to speed on this. -- P On 22 Mar 2004, KARTHIK HG wrote: > Hi.. > Hey Peeyush, i was going thru the commentary and also the code, i found that > i'll have to make the code using the make files included, then of corse i'll > need to write a shell to round the whole thing off.... > but i guess to make it truly bootable i'll need to create an image and stuff > which i have only a vague idea of, so if it comes to that, u've gotta help me > out... > btw is my assessment rite of things as it stands rite now? the binaries > obtained can then be used later, ie when i'm implementing a shell, when i can > call it an OS... > the ALP is still a pain in the ass... taking up most of my time... > thankfully there are only a few modules implemented using assembly... > anyways, getting a hang of it now... have u found any time to look into this.. > anyways... do post anything interesting u may find in this respect... >
