I'm not sure the OP could absorb that much info that quickly. The OP needs to select his hardware, learn the peripheral interfaces, design a consistent hardware control interface, then design a consistent user-space interface that presents the necessary APIs to control user access to hardware. Beyond that, the OP needs to select a language and learn to write in that language lucidly and clrealy so that he can return to old work weeks, months and even years later and figure out what he was thinking and doing in the past. Then he needs to select a programming language and learn it inside, outside, upside and downside. Next he needs to choose his 'best' methods, practices and procedures and learn them from every which way. Thus armed, he can design and implement any sort of operating system he chooses, because the way will be fairly clear. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
