[Help?]Not sure, a little lost.

I don't know if I am asking this in the right place or not. However I have been downloading OS' and playing around with them to see what they do and now that I have a feel for what they do I want to take PearOS [it's open source] and code off of it as an example to make my own OS however I do not know where to start or how to go about this. I am rather new to lua but I understand it aswell, I even wrote a rednet server program for password protecting doors. Any and all help is appreciated.

A good place to start would be to list off how what you want to code will differ from the original PearOS.

Thats a good place to start indeed. :)/>
You should also learn to handle, create, remove and read files (wich is extremely usefull in OS's devolpment), if you don't know already.
Learn about images and paint maybe, and create some apis to make your OS more personal.
Good luck :)/>

Thanks, I know how to handle create and remove and read files [currently have an IRC type deal on my server] I have no clue how to make an API honestly. I feel like I should make an OS before learning how to make an API. I see that PearOS is open source, how exactly do I obtain the files. I just wanna look a tthe code to learn and understand each part for an OS. Thanks guys.
