Could I Boot Irl Computer Into Craft Os?

Well, I've just been bored for the past couple of days, and so I was wondering if it'd be possible to boot my computer into Craft OS. It would probably take quite a bit of work, but it'd be a pretty neat project to do. Does anybody know if it's possible, and how hard/easy it'd be to do?

MS-Dos isn't too far from Lua/CraftOS and it's possible to boot from that. You'd basically have to rewrite/modify a lot of the api and mod. But I don't see why not… but I also don't see why lol

Yea, I just don't know where to start. It'll probably be too hard of a task for myself.

Well if you were to, you basically would need to write every single api function in assembly.

That's what I was afraid of.

You could use FreeDOS, compile Lua for DOS and then write in CC functions.

As a matter of fact, I was actually looking into FreeDOS yesterday. Once I get my computer working again, I'm going to take a deeper look into this.

Aah.. Think of the posibilities… A doorlock IRL!

Another option is to create a basic Linux setup (maybe Debian or Arch?) that boots to a TTY. You would get a much higher resolution and more functional terminal this way.
It would also allow for easy networking and other things.

Doesn't FreeDos allow for easy networking?

There may be a way for getting FreeDOS to connect to a network, but using a more modern operating system (like a Linux distro) as a base with networking included could be eaiser.
