See #50.

Some additional info. You need NASM and OpenWatcom to build. Note you need to add -wcd=106 if you use a recent OpenWatcom snapshot. If you use the tagged snapshot FreeDOS CI uses you don't need it.

I think it's recommended to use the tagged snapshot FreeDOS CI uses, as my kernel builds using recent snapshot are a bit unstable and I'm getting unexpected "invalid opcode" errors with JEMM during startup.

(EDIT: Per updates in #138 the issue I was talking about should have been addressed.)

From what I've tested you can do this on any Linux distro as long as you've got necessary utilities installed.
