You want to see what it does, but you don't want to mess up your existing system.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to run it in a virtual machine. Luckily, today virtualization software is free and easy to use. Personally, I like to use Virtualbox. You could also use Bochs or QEMU as well, and probably many others that I haven't tried.

  1. Install Virtualbox
  2. Build the kernel by following these instructions
  3. Generate the ISO image by running ./makeiso.sh from the root directory. This will create dominos.iso, which you can now burn to a CD or load in a virtual machine.
  4. Configure a new machine in Virtualbox that uses the ISO image as a CD
  5. Run it!
