Hello,

I just wanted to say Something about OS I read the one march 2004 topic But if I read a book on C and c++ Will it show me how to do like programs Is there a site that shows me how to make a OS?

A C/C++ book will NOT show you how to write an operating system, and for a good reason: it's far beyond the scope of the book. Creating an operating system takes a whole team of skilled programmers just to create a simple kernel. Linux took years before a GUI was even released with it.

It's usually easier to start writing an operating system with some sort of core already prewritten to make it easier. Here's a website you might find useful:
http://www.powerdb.org/study/OS/os-faq.html

But I would say don't try something like this until you're confident you're capable of completing it. If you bite off more than you can chew, you'll usually end up getting frustrated and quit (I know from experience).

ok now how do i put tht stuff into a OS LOL?

Also can u find me a book on it at amazon or barnes and nobles Thank you

You write the kernel. This is the base of your operating system, will be the largest part of your operating system, and will take the longest to write and be the most difficult to maintain.

Once you have written the kernel, you compile it into an image as described in the FAQ link I provided. This image can then be loaded, either manually or with a bootloader (GRUB/LILO) when the PC is booted.

Look, seriously, if you don't know how to program, why are you even worrying about how to write one? Learn C++ inside and out, THEN try to attempt it.

I don't know that much about writing operating systems, I just know that they're hard to write.

Of course if you are curious enough you could ask google your question and study the links it gives you. I found at least a half-dozen articles in just a few seconds.

Most universities officer course in operating systems. You might take one of those courses, but you will need to meed the prerequisits first.

You seem to be a newbie without any programming experience whatsoever. Go and learn to crawl before trying to run. But what the heck. Go and get burnt. Here is a good book with already written source code. But if you don't understand all the #defines don't come here asking. Get a good C/C++ book and learn them yourself.

Ok does it have to be C and C++ or one or anthoer?

ONE DAY I will be the next BILL GATES SOFTWARE lol

Doesn't matter. There are Operating systems written in both C or C++. You will have to learn assembly language also.

Uhhh,

Do you think I can ern money for this and donate to the site and build something cool? and also can you check barnes and nobles online a look for a good book for my to buy Cause I buy the wrong ones

THANK YOU!!
