1 - Check out the http api (specifically http.get)
2 - Learn the fs api
3 - Take a look at this list of things you need to know for an OS (Note: there are many things in the os section I don't consider OS's)
http - optional, but awesome
tables, tables, tables!
term api
os.pullEvent
all event types -critical
coroutines
disk api - optional
monitor support - optional
colors
error
pcall
string lib
objects - optional
api creation
know most of the lua 5.1 manual
know which things are broken in luaJ
PS: I don't mean to sound harsh, but creating an actual "OS" is not a good project for a beginner, (I see this is your second post). Make some simpler programs first, especially APIs. APIs are great, because you might use them in your OS, if you decide to develop one.
