Rewrite underway

Currently the kernel is being rewritten. The current progress of the rewrite can be checked in the rewrite branch.

Astral is a 64 bit hobbyist operating system for the x86-64 architecture written in C.

It has ports such as Xorg, GCC, Doom, Bash and the Coreutils.

The build process only needs xorriso and curl on the host. All other needed packages will be installed/built on the container.

To build an ISO, run make. This will create a file named sysdisk.iso

There are a few targets in the makefile to run Astral with qemu:

make run

make run-kvm

If you wish to use the qemu monitor and get interrupt information, use the test targets:

make test

make test-kvm
