- What would be the proper steps for producing code that could
- be run off of a floppy (dd to the floppy) that would be independant
- of and OS? I know that I would have to write a bootstrap loader
- and all that *fun* stuff, but what would I have to do to assemble
- and link it? And how well would I be able to incorporate C functions
- into this code eventually?
- I know under DOS :( I'd have to write the assembler code, assemble it,
- link it, then run it through EXE2BIN, then write it to the floppy.
-
- What would be the proper steps on Linux? Thanks..

- They can tell what job is running just by listening to the rate of popping.
