startout with a file called "startup" and put the following in it:

print "My OS v000 loaded"

To create an OS from scratch, one must first create the universe.

There's no set guide to make an OS. Generally, you want to have a lot of knowledge, then combine all the programs accumulated over the acquiring of said knowledge (some APIs help) and integrate them into a central framework, which you then term an "OS".

My Company is called Artryx Incorpdustries and I wanted to make like my own os where i could like store info about each members of my company, like a profile log. i mean, im not sure if this is kinda like making an os but i once edited a computer with a startup file that made it say when you reboot it, "Welcome to Artryx Incorpdustries Comment Booth!" but it still had the craft os

basicly i want to make my own company os that all the computers run on, but like with a login screen aswell cause i made that once where i have to put in username and password to use computer

so you want a nice login system and a set of custom programs for your company to store information and the like on through a Network rednet API of some kind an I think you could call it a OS barely.

An OS is basically a lot of your programs in one directory which is also a program. For example, my OS is called Hello version 2.0 and you can log in then run all the other programs that I've made. An OS isn't an actual big awesome thing. Its just a state in your learning experience with CC when you have so many programs that you need a large program to store them all.

Press DAT little green button fellah' if I made sense :o/>
