I'm trying to make a mini operating system (using the linux kernel). I'm planning on it being for x86 and I'm trying to make it so that it not only runs on qemu but also on a real device. What are the exact commands that I would need to put into terminal to do this?

If you need to ask this question, you're not ready to make your own OS. – cjm May 13 '12 at 4:43
You should consider reading Linux From Scratch. It is guide for compiling and installing all necessary components for custom Linux system. – hluk May 13 '12 at 7:11

However, It's closed, and it's overly stupid, narrow-m***d ..etc ..etc. and authoritatively rhetorical (i.e. stupid question). But I'dont think so + LFS is not stupid it's the best system to probe! -that's it.. youtube.com/watch?v=rDxavve6Smk – Xsi Nov 22 '12 at 15:22

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
