Just got this idea. Would it be possible to have a certain location where you can store programs that you can access from anywhere (like System32)?

Yeah, that is planned to be in /bin/.
KnightOS is based on this

Actually, here's the entire planned filesystem hierarchy, based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:
Code: [Select]
/ ; Root
/bin/ ; Command line programs, such as LS and CLEAR
/etc/ ; Everything else
/home/ ; User files
/doc/ ; Documents
/img/ ; Pictures
/src/ ; Source code (KBasic, asm, etc, this is where user projects are kept)
/lib/ ; Libraries
/media/ ; Mount points for flash drives and networked calculators
/sbin/ ; Essential system binaries, such as the Castle and Global Settings
/root/ ; Contains information for the root user (may not be included in final release)
/usr/ ; Installed programs

that seems pretty nice, shouldn't programs be in something like prgm or apps, though? Otherwise it might confuse some people, since on Windows user is more for images, media, downloads and that stuff.

I thought about that, but when the file explorer opens, it shows /home/ so that the first thing the user sees is that their files are kept in /home/.  Also, the package manager shows all the programs installed without the need to have the user manually look through the filesystem.

That makes me really want to incorporate C2I in this.  Anyway, will you be able to add stuff to your path variable? How editable is the kernel? I can't wait to work on USB on this.

The kernel can technically be modified from code, but it isn't encouraged.  Flash is not locked down by KOS, though.  And you can definitely add to your path variable.  And have patience.  February 1st, my friend.

I have huge amounts of patience with many things. Unfortunately, excitement overcomes that. A LOT.  But, just 20 more days.  Yay!

I have a request for castle: Skinning ability for the icons, so you can draw them yourself.

You mean the ability to customize your icons for programs?

Well, that sounds relatively easy to do.
