Attempt to create operating system from scratch

Sux OS

Arch: x86 Intel

Giving another try to build the OS from scratch for x86 intel architecture

Steps followed in BIOS

1. POST (Power-on self-test):
	This tests the hardware of the computer before loading running OS
2. Bootstrap Loader
	This locates the OS
3. Software/Drivers
	This locates the software and drivers that interface with the OS once running
4. CMOS Setup (Complementary Metal-oxide Semiconductor)
	This is a configuration program that enable users to alter hardware and system settings. CMOS is the name of BIOS’ non-volatile memory.

Adapting "Release Candidate" development model (Window Size : 1 Month)

• After each mainline release, there is a 3-week "merge window" period during which new major features are introduced into the kernel (Initial 1-week for gathering the features, 2-weeks for development)
• After merge window closes, there is a 1-week bugfix and stabilization period with daily "release candidate" snapshots
• rc7 is usually the release candidate

Tools

1. nasm
2. qemu
3. make
4. gcc
