A lot of the influence for KnightOS came from Ubuntu.  It was originally going to be called LinTIx, and have an interface based on GNOME.

I don't know if this really fits in the feature requests section, but I think the size of the OS itself should be kept to the absolute minimum, and let every feature be an application. This way, you won't waste memory on the features you never use.

BTW: Look at windows. The windows OS can do nothing. If you want to calculate, you use the 'calculator' application, If you want to edit text, you use notepad.

^ That. I think that's what Sir wants, but just in case, seconded.

Or look at Linux-based OSes, which do only the absolute fundamentals (kernel stuff) and leaves everything (file system, GUI, everything) to installable and customizable apps Smiley

That's the plan.  The entire kernel is <4000 bytes, and fits on one page.  The rest of the ROM (save some places for obvious reasons) is where the applications go, and the user files go.

Page 0 or Page 1F/3F/7F.  I'm assuming 0, since the other pages shouldn't be writable, but knowing SirCmpwn...

It was a joke Tongue
Page00 is restricted from filesystem access, the reason being that it's the kernel and would be bad to mess up.  So is the boot page, usb page (84+, read-only), and certificate pages.

I know it was a joke. I was making a joke too....

So any real progress on this, or is it all imaginary? </nomorejokes>

There's progress.  I've added some filesystem code, fixed compatibility to work with all supported models, and started adding kernel debugging.
