Welcome to FoolOS
=================
Disclaimer
----------
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
This is a simple and useless "operating system", with very basic
features, sorry. It is the fruit of my fundamental explorations of
the x86 architectures, 32-bit protected mode, interrupt handling,
memory management, scheduling the floppy disk controller, networking
as well as VESA and a couple of other things.

Usage
-----
Attach the FoolOS.img floppy image in your favourite emulator and boot
or create a bootable USB stick by copying the raw data in the following way
$ cat ./release/FloppyOS.img > /dev/sdX
This image is not updated on every commit, so it might be out of date.
You can build it yourself by running "make" in the projects
directory. You might need some dependencies (as newlib) however.
Supported Platforms
-------------------
FoolOS is tested/developed on the following emulators/machines
* bochs 2.6.6 (compiled with: ./configure --enable-clgd54xx --enable-a20-pin --enable-debugger --enable-disasm --enable-e1000 --with-x --with-x11 --enable-smp)
* qemu 1.1.2
* virtual box 4.1.18
* Acer Aspire 1810TZ (Notebook)
* Q6600 on Asus p5n32-e sli plus (Desktop PC)
Features
--------
Please note that all features are only very rudimentary and buggy.
* Bootloader (2 stages)
* PIT support / Timing
* PIC support & Interrupt handling framework
* PCI bus scanning
