I have to admit, I went a bit far. But in the end, I got my point across.

Maybe they mean operating surround, not system?

Yeah. I was looking over that too. It's amazing how kids can have such large imaginations.

I flamed the h311 out of them in the Forum Rules subforum of http://www.subosdev.tk/ . They had no other subforums specifically for flaming (they should, they probably get at least 3 billion flames per day
 ) so that's where I posted. I tried to be nice, but in the end I decided to tell them how stupid the SubOSes are.
Well, they asked for it  _________________ FASM Rules! OS Dev is fun! Pepsi tastes nasty! Some ants toot! It's over! |

I don't see any point in flaming them - if they learn more they will notice themselves why the things they were doing were "weird". However at their current level they may still learn a lot even from what appears to you as stupid and useless. Well, they may also never learn any programming advanced enough to get out of this "niche", but instead of flaming, it would be actually wiser to try to lead them in the direction of learning more. And paradoxically in the beginning it might even mean helping them in writing those projects, that appear so stupid to you. And if you are not able to help them without offending them, it's better to use this time for your own work, hoping there will be some people able to appreciate it.

Actually... when you put it that way, I kinda see what you mean...

Good point... it looks really stupid, but maybe they think we're stupid, for saying it's stupid...

Yeah... but what breed of idiot calls a programmer stupid when we can do much more than they can? That's just crazy.

hi guys! excuse me for offtop: so, when we will start to write bootloader?
by the way, i just wrote something: this loaders just load itself 512 bytes later and prints string from there. although there are many ready sources i try to exercise and use only my old techhelp to do this. so, you can try it also. (do not say it is best, just works  )
----------------- well first error was of wrong usage of qemu: i've been passing image as hda (was enough to load boot sector) - now as fda, and then was disk error because i did not used passed drive number - but hard zero, and could not recognize error cause i've been printing al while error code returns in ah - this fixed

About my bootsector, the FAT12 loading is a bit slow, and maybe unstable.
My current bootsector have FAT12 code (fast and working) by John Fine. Maybe I should add pmode and a20 to that one and post it for you? (since I do not longer have the need of going into pmode or setting a20 in the bootloader myself) / Christoffer |

If you wouldn't mind, that would be nice. However, I may go back to using a real mode bootloader so I can detect installed memory and things like that, from the kernel.

Sorry for my confusion: are you writing to suggest that one cannot examine "installed memory and things like that" FROM PROTECTED MODE?

No, thats why he wrote a "real mode bootloader" which means that the kernel would start in realmode.
[EDIT] i thought you said "can" instead of "cannot" Last edited by bubach on 29 Aug 2005, 06:46; edited 1 time in total |
