Fiwix: Unix-like kernel for the i386 architecture


A UNIX-like kernel for the i386 architecture. Contribute to mikaku/Fiwix development by creating an account on GitHub.

Fiwix is an operating system kernel written from scratch, based on the UNIX architecture and fully focused on being POSIX compatible. It is small in size (less than 50K lines of code), runs on the i386 hardware platform and is compatible with a good base of existing GNU applications. This will create the files fiwix(the kernel itself) and System.map.gz(the symbol table) in the root directory of the source code tree.
