Building from scratch

To build PonyDOS from scratch, on an environment with nasm and python3, run make. make run runs the floppy disk image ponydos.img with QEMU.

How do I contribute?

There is a model hello.asm file to demonstrate how best to use the multitude of features the kernel provides. Build your own program on top– write an assembler, an audio mixer, a ponysay, whatever your heart desires! –and [todo: ???].
