| |
hey guys,
I generally manage to understand the various pieces of the linux kernel and what their functions are.
However, one thing I don't fully understand is how is any OS, say fedora (which is what I use) is bound to the kernel.
Lets say I want to just build a system on top of linux that boots and keeps printing hello world to the screen. When the user presses a key it exits.
How would I begin to do this? What should I read or look at?
I'm guessing it's a two part thing right, one I need to somehow tell the kernel what to do after booting, and second I'll have to tell the kernel what the screen is ? Where would I find more information about this?
Note: I actually want to make the program I described so tips on how to play with grub to get the whole thing to work would also be helpful.
Regards, Gideon
