IsolatedOS

IsolatedOS

Alien Isolation inspired fan made 32 bit real operating system. This operating system consist of it’s own bootloader and -very- little kernel which not derived from Linux or something.

Installation

Download ISO file in releases page and use an emulator to run it. Operating system can be run in legacy bios mode on any computer in theory but I strongly suggest you to run it on virtual device.

How to build

Required Packages

Install the required packages to compile operating system.

gcc
nasm
qemu-kvm

Note: qemu-kvm package is required for testing iso

Build Scripts

Open a terminal in project root directory and run script files.

chmod +x build.sh
chmod +x run.sh
./build.sh
./run.sh

To build and run

./build.sh && ./run.sh

How to change messages in OS

To change messages in OS open vgasrc.cpp file in winsis directory and change following lines.

// PERSONAL:
#define _PersonalCount 2
const char* personal_title = "CONFIGURING MESSAGES";
const char* personal[_PersonalCount] = {
    "ALL MESSAGES CAN BE EDITTED ON TOP OF THE VGASRC CPP SOURCE",
    "FILE"
};

// UTILITIES
#define _UtilitiesCount 1
const char* utilities_title = "COMPILATION OF SOURCE";
const char* utilities[_UtilitiesCount] = {
    "LOOK AT BUILD SHELL FILE"
};

// ABOUT
#define _AboutCount 5
const char* about_title = "ABOUT ISOLATED OS";
const char* about[_AboutCount] = {
    "ISOLATED OS VERSION A",
    "THIS OPERATING SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES",
    "INSPIRED BY FAMOUS VIDEO GAME AND NOT RELATED WITH ANY TRADEMARK",
    "OF IT",
    "PROJECT LICENSED UNDER GPL VERSION TWO"
};

If you change the line count you should change ‘_PersonalCount, _UtilitiesCount or _AboutCount’ as well.

Login Password

Default login password is ‘ADMIN’.
You can change password in vgasrc.cpp file.

const char* passwd = "ADMIN";
