# FerrOS

A custom OS written in Rust

## Running the OS

You can start running the OS by executing:

```bash
cargo run
```

This assumes that you have a rust environment setup and cargo is available, the easiest way to do this is with [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).

### Dependencies

You should have the command `qemu-system-x86_64` available on your system to run the OS through an emulator, although it is also possible to flash it on an USB-drive and boot it directly.
For debian users you can install the [`qemu-system-x86`](https://packages.debian.org/sid/qemu-system-x86) package and that will make sure all dependencies for the emulator are correctly installed.

### Install to USB-drive

To install it to an USB-drive you can use the following command if you are on a linux system.

```bash
sudo dd if=<path-to-project>/target/<config>/FerrOS of=/dev/sdX bs=1M status=progress
```
