I guess I will introduce myself, I spent some time working with Puppy Linux, remastering it as DCL. Also I've been using BASIC for about 5 years, QBASIC and FreeBASIC with the goal to make a GUI for on DOS. Recently I decided that DOS doesn't multitask, and I'm not going to make it.
I've tried every OS I can get my hands on, and Kolibri seems closest to my "ideal OS", so I want to be able to contribute, so I'm wonder what is the best way? Is it to learn C,ASM? Somehow use BASIC?
I'm also a webmaster, I run a DOS GUI website, and met Trolly on it, so if there is anything there I could help with?
I suppose its a little off topic, but what's the recommended way to install to a hard drive(well CF in a USB adapter)?
Hello
Below the BASIC compiler for MenuetOS. I do not know it works or not.

I tried this basic, but its documentation is very poor.
There is no update since 2002.
I would like to write a Basic compiler for Menuet and Kolibri as the one I wrote for Windows.

A Linux-master may find it useful to load Kolibri with Grub.Brandon wrote: I suppose its a little off topic, but what's the recommended way to install to a hard drive?
1) Create two small FAT partitions on your disk (100 Mb is a lot for any KOS application). Let's say for sure the 2nd and 3rd partitions of your 2nd hard disk created ( /dev/hdb2 & /dev/hdb3 or (hd1,1) & (hd1,2) in Grub's own enumeration).
2) Mount these partitions to your filesystem as /KOS/raw and /KOS/stable.
3) Download a recent version of KolibriOS to both. Check that kolibri.img is there!
4) Add copies of memdisk (a part of syslinux package) to /KOS/raw and /KOS/stable.
5) Being a root, add few lines to Grub' configuration /boot/grub/menu.lst:
Code: Select all
title KolibriOS - experimental
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
kernel /memdisk
initrd /kolibri.img
title KolibriOS - stable
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
kernel /memdisk
initrd /kolibri.img
7) Staying inside KOS, you will be able to edit and recompile your kernel sources. Alternatively, you can copy externally compiled core to your ramdisk from any physical DOS/Win disk of your computer (Kolibri can't read ext2/ext3 yet!).
Don't forget to store you ramdisk each time leaving Kolibri session!
9) A buggy kernel will fail your next boot. That's why do whatever you want with your first KOS-disk files only, and copy the stuff to /KOS/stable when you're sure it's really stable....
