I will persist in acquiring the knowledge needed to operate this OS, but
because there is a massive amount of reading to do before I can even

After beating my head against a brick wall for quite some time now, I've
realised that I have to go back to basics to fully understand the
concepts and mechanics of the Computer and how the various Operating
Systems communicate with the hardware and then I might be able to learn
the various languag
thanks for the encouragement, I NEED IT (LOL) I may have mislead you
about the text login. When my OS boots up, I have totally blue screen

I can't get them to work.I've run the tar -x command but it doesn't
work, and I've tried quite a few others, but they don't work. It's not
