nifty. did you follow a tutorial or make it without one... I would like to see that tutorial, or if you could make one, that would be neat. Charles |

As a clarification, you can't have the same symbol defined twice or you'll get a linker error. Apart from that, you can also have only one entry point (which may or may not be main(), depending on the implementation of the compiler). That's why you can never link two executable object files together. |

This is the whole point of open source - people don't need to rewrite the same crap over and over again and can focus on whatever they want to bring new. |

Yes, but I still dislike using Open Source Projects for my Projects. |

I understand where he is coming from. I decided that I wanted to write my own, for the experience and the learning, but then I realized that it would be a little more work than I should start with. I tried starting with the boot loader, but I really had no idea what was going on, so I picked Grub. I would like to customize it a bit more, but I will worry about it after the kernel is running. |

Well okay, Michael. But you won't get very far. You know how many lines of code real OSes have? You wouldn't have time to code anything serious on your own if you lived 200 years. |

I was running my small kernel with GRUB first. But afer then i wanted my kernel in 3GiB and some other paging stuff, so i made my simple bootloader with elf parser and paging. Most code is seen on the tutorials of Mike (brokenthorn) // PHPnerd |
