Question about Boot ?

Post by Krisko »

Hello guys, I wondered is it possible to make a bootable program with PB? I mean console app or app with GUI. Something like OS but way much simple. I've searched the forum but didn't find asnwer to my question. So if some one can help me I'll be very grateful. :wink:

It's not possible, because PB programs require Windows or Linux or Mac OS. You can make your own customized linux distro, though, with the normal desktop replaced by your program.

Trond is correct... while it is theorhetically possible it is not practicable... PB calls windows API elements... I think it may be possible to code a text based OS in PB a'la the book Designing Your Own 32 bit Operating System... I don't think you would be happy in the long run.

As far a a custom Linux Distro... that is extemely possible... thats what SSquirrel POS dd years ago with Unix.
