BAGUAL is a patchwork of code from here and there knitted together in order to attempt to get a somewhat functional IA-32 kernel for study purposes mainly. If it resembles very early linux kernels it's because most of its bits came from there, but there are parts of other small projects around as well. There is no roadmap for BAGUAL, as it's sort of a spare weekend time project. Any contribution is welcome.
To start playing with it (it does not do anything interesting at the moment besides booting and catching interrupts) go ahead and hit 'make test-run' once the VM is up and running try keyboard combinations such as CTRL+C or CTRL+X.
