Want 2 Help create new OS?
Master of Reality:
......*sigh*... you see the picture that looks like a piece of paper with a pencil beside it "editing" the piece of paper?.... well you can click on that to edit your posts.
anyways.... as someone said in that thread... your probly better off trying to take the linux kernal and build off of that basically building your own custom linux. But if your going to do that and want it not to be like any other of the 300 linii then you will probly want to have a certain goal for your system..... like OpenBSD with its main thing being security and smoothwall being a firewall and mandrake being user friendly.

HUH...you said you gonna make new OS by mixure of win,linex and mac..do you think you can build exact software out of these thing? are these people mad that they have at least some of the bad things...do you REALLY THINK combination of Ferarri, Lamborghini and Maserati will make best car? haha
Pantso:
If you wanna do something Datacide, then get the FUCK on with it! Why do you waste so much time, wandering from one forum to the other, telling that people flamed you in this one? :eek:
If you really had planned something, then you would already have started a project on Sourceforge. So, get on with it? What are you waiting for?
PS: Oh, and try to edit your posts next time before, posting the same thing thrice! ;)
Datacide:
OK. Fine.

My opinion:
Write an outline. Kinda what refalm said, but I'll take it to the next level here.
1) Think about licensing and open-source, and all of the stuff Refalm said.
2) Open a project with sourceforge
3) Map out a stuctural diagram of your OS. It will be complex, but it should be, because OSes are complex.
4) Decide which language you want to write each piece in. Some parts should be portable (easy to port to other platforms), some parts should be fast. You have to make the distinction as to what should be written in what.
5) Code, compile and test the bootloader.
----DO NOT PROCEED PAST HERE UNTIL EVERYTHING ELSE ABOVE IS DONE----
6) Start coding the core OS, and IO systems.
7) Compile, test, and debug the core OS and IO systems. Get the OS to load from the bootloader This process could take months...
7) Build on it from there. Don't be afraid to include other people's code in there if their license allows it. Why recode what others have already done?
PM Me if you need more help/guidance.
Post updates here too.
