Hi, I stumbled upon HelenOS just a few days ago, and i would say i was quite surprised that i didn't know about it before. I went through the website and wiki pages and tried to collect as much information about it as possible. I have contributed to MINIX 3 before, so i found a sense of familiarity here. But after coming from POSIX background, i found poking/experimenting in the HelenOS (running in kvm) quite challenging. I may have missed some useful information in the wiki pages, but here are some very beginner level problems that i would like to get help in getting started with HelenOS as soon as possible:
1. How to shutdown the running OS ? I couldn't find shutdown/halt or any command similar to it! 2. How to install the OS ? Till now, i have been running it like this: `kvm -net user -net nic -m 256 -cdrom HelenOS-0.4.3-ia32.iso` So, when i create a file, kill kvm, and again run HelenOS, the file is not present anymore which is very logical. Ideally, i should have done this: `kvm-img create HelenOS.img; kvm -net user -net nic -m 256 -cdrom HelenOS-0.4.3-ia32.iso -hda HelenOS.img -boot d` and, then installed OS on HelenOS.img somehow. How to do that ? Or, am i completely on the wrong track ? 3. How do you write code in HelenOS ? Which tools/IDE you use ? Is 'edit' the only available editor ? 4. Does ssh server/client run in HelenOS ? If it does, then i can easily mount the whole filesystem somewhere else using sshfs and do a whole lot of work very easily. Thanks, Vivek Prakash
