Along with Shaw's Nightmare game, I will make an operating system.
It would have the following features:
- A FreeDOS bootloader
- Command interpreter
- C-BASIC (a program developing kit)
- Support for FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32.
That's all for now!

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
What do you mean by why? I can't understand you fully.

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
Isn't that clear? He asked you why you would make an OS if there are already great ones out there.
Just to make something clear: I will not reply to daft PMs like "Where can I find X?" or "Can you give me a link to Y?". Most of your questions are likely answerable if only you took your bloody time to look through these forums and use Google if all else fails. Sheesh...
Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
Because I'd love to make an operating system.

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
You misunderstood Autor_Serwisu again. Well, maybe that would be reasonable since he wrote "Who will use it [...]?". I think he meant "Who would use it [...]?". And he's got a point there. Why would anyone use another OS if they already have one up and running and are happy about it?
Not to discourage you, but your OS is not gonna be of much help. But since you wanted to do one to enhance your programming skills (wish I had them), go ahead.

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
But it will have lower system requirements..!

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
You don't spoil all the features just yet. Rather go and program it. You can show us once it's done.

Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
I don't know much (read 'nothing at all' if you wish) about programming, but I strongly encourage you to go on with any project you might have: if this is what you want, go for it and don't bother about what others may say!
Re: MOS - Mickey96's Operating System
An OS is no joke and nowhere as simple as a game, so go ahead and take a stab at it. You'll certainly learn a lot, if nothing else. But be careful re. running your under-development OS on your main PC with all your important data etc. (or worse, other people's data like your parents'). It's very easy to mess up the system and corrupt stuff like the MBR, FAT etc. if you don't know what you're doing, or if your OS has even the slightest bug in its routines. That's why people in general prefer to trust and use OSs that have been tested thoroughly by many testers for a long time with all sorts of software/hardware (that can behave very differently individually and in combination with each other).
