Running this project

I'm afraid the README file does not tell the most important: How to even start it? Using NASM? What is makehdr? Command under Linux?

Anyway, an attempt to compile it with nasm 2.15.05 threw few errors

Hi,

First, my code assumes that you do have a small amount of knowledge of how a computer boots your boot sector, then the loader, and finally the kernel. However, I am willing to help you learn.

The sole reason for this project is to have a place to freely download the code accompanying my books. https://www.fysnet.net/osdesign_book_series.htm

With that being said, what files are you trying to assemble? For example, the FAT boot sector, as well as most other source files, have a header at the top stating how to assemble the file. Most are assembled with my NBASM assembler found at http://www.fysnet/newbasic.htm.

If you are interested in creating your own operating system, I suggest you read my book(s) and visit a forum (https://forum.osdev.org/) specific to this subject where you can ask questions.

I do not use Linux, so there is no "out of the box" code for Linux. You must modify the source files to be able to assemble them with NASM or another assembler. However, it should be a minor task with few modifications to do so, as long as you are familiar with assemblers and their operation.

I hope this helps,
Ben
