copied from klosy repo, may not be relevant to Klosy Reloaded

Klosy is a lightweight operating system. I created this repo only because it's safe to store the source code on GitHub, not on my computer.

Warning: Klosy is in developement and it isn't ready for downloading.

Notice: some code was taken from https://gitlab.com/sortie/meaty-skeleton. For getting more information see http://wiki.osdev.org/Meaty_Skeleton

klosy-reloaded

This part is solely about Klosy Reloaded and has nothing to do with Klosy except for the fact that KR is rewritten Klosy

An attempt to rewrite Klosy from scracth due to its bugs and костыли. Yes, I have too much free time

Some bootstrap project structure was taken from Bare Bones tutorial on OSDev Wiki.

Used and Distributed along with Klosy Reloaded

Here is a complete list of any data, source code, binary or in any other form, included in the distribution and not being a part of Klosy Reloaded.

(list is empty for now, as nothing is distributed along with KR)

WARNING: This OS normally uses GNU GRUB, which is distributed under GNU GPL. Simply speaking, this license requires me to publish the source code of GNU GRUB along with my OS source code. However, I am too lazy to build GNU GRUB from its source code to make sure I publish the same GNU GRUB source code version that is used in final ISO to boot. So, as long as I don't build GNU GRUB from source code, I won't publish the ISO containing Klosy and GNU GRUB. klosy-reloaded.elf will be available, but ISO image won't. To make the ISO you will need GNU GRUB binaries and grub-mkrescue program. You can build them from their source code, but I don't provide it because I am not distributing these programs in any form.

However, you can use any bootloader supporting Multiboot. Configuration files and build scripts are provided only for GNU GRUB, but if you want to, you can use any bootloader or even do not use it at all (for example running kernel directly with QEMU).

Also, there is a script to run Klosy Reloaded in QEMU, but again, I do not distribute QEMU in any form, binary or source code. QEMU can be downloaded from here.
