Could someone show me how to make a nice CMD Operating System that's installed by floppy disk and has users and stuff. Just so you know I'm using Tekkit so don't do any ComputerCraft 1.47 lessons. Just stick to ComputerCraft 1.3. :3

This area isn't for us to do the work for you. It is here so that when you are working on something and get stuck for a solution and have exhausted all other options such as Googling and looking at both the CC API's and Lua Documentations.

I suggest looking in the "Programs" section, you will find lots of Operating Systems there.

1. I don't want you to do the work for me.
2. I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN OS!

Look in Programs. Figure out how they work. If you cannot, then you are not ready to code your own OS.

I could be wrong, but i think he meant the programs section here.

Yeah, but if you can't figure out how the basic programs in CC work, then you are also not ready to code an OS. But on that, you'll want to look over the rom/apis folder. The apis are more advanced than the programs, for the most part, but they are also good to study if you want to make an OS.
