This is the beginnings of great things

What this release is

  • A working bare-metal x86 environment you can boot in QEMU.
  • A kernel, drivers, and network stack built piece by piece, with the source and design notes left open for inspection.
  • A baseline to measure everything that comes after.

The README and docs/ in this tag describe the current layout, subsystems, and build/run instructions. They are part of the release as much as the code itself.

How to approach it

Treat this as a lab notebook you can boot.

Read the docs, build the image, run it under an emulator, and step through what happens from the first instruction to the shell prompt. Change something small, rebuild, and watch the machine respond.

Safety

DracOS is intended to be run under emulation (e.g., QEMU) only. Booting this kernel on real hardware is not supported or tested and is done entirely at your own risk.

Forward

This tag marks the starting line, not the finish. Future releases will extend the kernel, deepen the drivers and networking, and refine the tools, but this is where it begins.
