cowboot
create a bootable USB stick with a cow saying your name!
Why?
I (re)started to read the book linux-insides in which the booting process is discussed.
The author writes a simple real-mode program that outputs a '!' character onto the screen via INT 10H.
As a learning experience, I've decided to create a small boot image which displays cowsay with a dedicated message upon boot.
But, cowsay?
YES. I love cows.
Requirements
- cowsay
- unix2dos
- nasm
Installation
make MSG=<your boot message here>
sudo make install MEDIA=<your destination media here>Read more in my blog!
