kernel further due to work constraints. hopefully (maybe this weekend) i will
be able to due some further hacking.  how is the work coming on the hang.asm?

hey all,

just to give you guys a quick update, i've been playing with the linux 0.1
kernel.  i should be able to write up a process for generating a "hello
world" kernel from it before too long.

guys,

here is some more interesting stuff that is 'real working code'.
feels great when it works. check it out.

setup
-----
i have a redhat 7.0 installation with gcc etc (standard dev tools)
i downloaded nasm 0.98 from
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/assemblers/
become root and then do tar xfvz nasm*
then do cd nasm*
then do ./Configure and then make
you will get 2 binaries. put them in /usr/bin

stuff to do
-----------
visit http://www.nondot.org/sabre/os/files/Booting/nasmBoot.txt

start with the first program hang.asm

once you type it in and then compile it using:

nasm hang.asm -o hang.bin

then put a blank floppy in the floppy drive and say

dd if=hang.bin of=/dev/fd0  (or your floppy device here)

then reboot from this floppy. nothing happens.

hang on ;-)

now reboot in redhat and then do the next one: jump.asm and
follow the above steps. still nothing.

finally reboot back in redhat and do 1.asm and follow the above
steps. then reboot. feels cool :-)

i went ahead and did all the programs and exercises given there.

check it out guys. finally something to see rather than imagine.

lemme know your experiences.
