# PonyDOS
|
||||
|
||||
### What is PonyDOS?
|
||||
|
||||
PonyDOS is a hobby 512-byte operating system, designed for ponies like you!
|
||||
|
||||
### Is PonyDOS a DOS distribution?
|
||||
|
||||
No! PonyDOS uses its own 512-byte kernel, built from scratch.
|
||||
|
||||
### Screenshots
|
||||
|
||||
[todo: insert screenshots here]
|
||||
|
||||
### Building from scratch
|
||||
|
||||
To build PonyDOS from scratch, on an environment with `nasm` and `python3`,
|
||||
run `make`. `make run` runs the floppy disk image `ponydos.img` with QEMU.
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I contribute?
|
||||
|
||||
There is a model `hello.asm` file to demonstrate how best to use the
|
||||
multitude of features the kernel provides. Build your own program on top–
|
||||
write an assembler, an audio mixer, a `ponysay`, whatever your heart desires!
|
||||
–and [todo: ???].

This is a parody of [klange](https://github.com/klange)'s wonderful
|
||||
[PonyOS](https://ponyos.org/). The creators of this project, CrazyEttin,
|
||||
nortti, and [shikhin](https://shikhin.in) hang out in [todo: redacted].

### What are people saying about PonyDOS?
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing so far.
|
||||
|
||||
## FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
#### Does PonyDOS work on real hardware?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes! PonyDOS works on many different machines. The kernel can run on any
|
||||
80286-compatible CPU, and the applications on any 8086-compatible CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Is this _really_ not a DOS distribution?
|
||||
|
||||
PonyDOS is not a DOS distribution---it's also not a BSD, or a Hurd, or a
|
||||
Minix, or a [Sortix](https://sortix.org/)!
|
||||
|
||||
#### How do I resize windows?
|
||||
|
||||
If the top-left corner of the window is the ↨ symbol, you can click and drag
|
||||
the symbol to resize.
|
||||
|
||||
#### I started a window and it doesn't have a title bar, how do I exit it?
|
||||
|
||||
You don't.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How do I install PonyDOS?
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, PonyOS is only offered as a live flopp disk image with no
|
||||
installation option, for your safety.

||||

* be able to click on asm/text files in file listing to open
|
||||
* delete the TODO from release README
|
