Hello All,

What I have done till now :
-I have downloded KolibriOS image(latest-img.7z) from http://builds.kolibrios.org/eng/.
-I am successfully able to run OS using VMBox on ubuntu 14.04
-I created a sample application 'SQUARE.ASM' (changed circle.asm a little).
-Compiled it using FASM and named binary as SQUARE.
-Now I want to insert this application to KolibriOS.img
[I know I can write an application using tinypad and compile in KolibriOS itself. But I want to learn how to insert a file to image without building entire OS].
-Now I am performing following command :
mcopy -moi kolibrios.img SQUARE ::DEMOS
-It successfully gets executed.
-I am reloading my image to VirtualBox and restart OS again.
-But I can not find my application anywhere.

My questions are :
1) How to add application to menu entry in KolibriOS ?
2) Is there any problem with above process ?
3) I went through attached this file for reference : https://github.com/ashmew2/kolibriosSVN ... /build.txt

I have attached the screenshot as well.
Hope I made myself clear.

Thanks & Regards,
Utsav Chokshi

You should be able to find your application through one of the file managers (KFAR, KFM, Eolite).
The image gets loaded into RAM at boot, the path to this is /rd/1/

Hello, to add an application to the menu entry in KolibriOS, you need to follow these steps:
a) Make sure your application is compiled and assembled correctly. Ensure that the binary file (in this case, "SQUARE") is in a format compatible with KolibriOS.

b) Identify the appropriate location where the menu entries are defined in KolibriOS. This is typically done through configuration files or scripts.

c) Open the relevant configuration file for the menu entries and locate the section that defines the applications in the menu.

d) Add an entry for your application in the menu configuration. This typically includes specifying the name of the application, the command or file path to execute it, and any additional parameters or options.

e) Save the changes to the menu configuration file.

f) Restart KolibriOS or reload the modified image in VirtualBox to see the updated menu entry.
