I read this page sometime last year, found it very interesting: hxxp://nocturnalnetwork.com/os.htm

Also, of some small interest: hxxp://www.linuxgazette.com/issue85/mahoney.html

About OS

Hi,
IMHO, a man who want to start (ehmmm, sorry 4 my english) writing his own OS need basic theory about scheduler, processes and threads , memory management, and so on...but maybe you already know this things.
Maybe you want to start writing an OS based on microkernel like L4 (very nice IMO ) ....
I am not an expert, i'm only a student but as you already know, writing an OS is not only a boot sector.
After that, you will know how, what and where to do something.
IMO.

PS.
Oh my god, this is my first post!

Try going to www.osdev.org, it links to a nice OS development resource centre which has lots of info.

in my opinion the first and the most important thing to write OS is to know very very much about Memory Management, without good and nice memory management you canť write some nice kernel

but its very hard to work

i think you can find MSDOS source in internet, it will good work for u. because linux is full of difficulties which one is not good at it.
I found it is http://www.driverdevelop.com/dlit.php?id=272, but it require access. good lucky for u.

Actually, the DOS source is also on the FTP, if one has access, which loman should.
