What Order Should I Make Things In?: Difference between revisions

This is a question of style. You can start at the start and dig straight in, writing a bootsector, then a minimal kernel, and build from there. You could skip the bootsector, and use a ready-made bootloader like [[GRUB]] (it's open for discussion whether rolling your own [[Rolling Your Own Bootloader|rolling your own bootloader]] is a valuable experience or a waste of time). You can also write bits and pieces in no specific order, and just put them together at the very end. There is probably no right or wrong way to go about doing it. If you would like an overview of things that are handy to get working (and are practically a must for every OS), you can keep on reading.
