Hi.
Please help me to understand the MenuetOS Codes. Im Newer in assembly language . please help me in analyzing the source codes of MenuetOS.
I want to post here part of the MenuetOS codes and include files , please say to me how this codes work , line to line. if you help to me and say how the codes work , after a little time we can have a big and full documentation of MenuetOS source code and development , and every one , form novice to professionals , can use this documentation for research on MenuetOS and work for expansion this OS . This OS is a masterwork , and a way for new Ideas from beginners and professionals .
(Im sorry for my bad English language)
I begin with codes of BOOTCODE.INC (please say to me how the codes work , with high details) :

Hi there, welcome to the board and let me say this.
The simple answer is no-one has this much time to analyze all this, but an average assembly programmer doesn't have to have line-for-line comments to hold his/her hand.

To understand what all this does is take some topics on 16-bit programming and then read about OS design and booting. Actually for developing this OS you don't need the boot, but other kernel parts that interact with the user.
