I''m woundering about getting source code to loadlin(I think thats the name=)... I''m toying with the idea of writting my own os... nothing huge but just for fun =)... anyone now where to get source code for it?
Great Milenko
There ya go buddy : ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/loadlin-1.6
Hope you can read ASM :-)
You might want to look at lilo too; it doesn''t need DOS or any other underlying OS to boot. Also, always visit www.linuxapps.com for all your linux application needs. Like they say, if you can''t find it there, you won''t find it anywhere.
Have fun!

Your best bet is the arch/i386/boot directory in your kernel source tree. LILO and loadlin just load the kernel into memory then execute it, but you want to know how the kernel actually works.
Having the VXD''s loaded in Ring 0 (of 3) in a multi-ringed OS (like Windows 98), you should be able to have a ring 2 that controls all system resources and ring 3 will be your app place--kernel, user, graphics i/o, Word, Excel, stuff...
As you might know, your boot code should be less than 512 bytes and it should load the OS of yours. Then, you can eat some snickers and do the FREEDOM DANCE!!!!!
