(1) Introduction (2) Trying out ELKS using the disk images (3) Compiling your own kernel (1) Introduction Hello, and welcome to the exciting world of Linux-8086, ELKS, or the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset! This is a project which will eventually produce a Linux-like OS for the 8086 (186, 286) as well as for the Psion series of processors. But, as you have this file, you probably already know that, so let's get down to business. (2) Trying out ELKS using the images So you want to give ELKS a try, but you don't want all the fuss and bother of compiling the kernel and the tools yourself. No problem. All you need to do is grab the images.zip file from the download section of http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ and save it to its own directory. These files can be copied to disks and used to boot ELKS. For details of which files you want and how to use them, please see the INSTALL file included in this distribution. (3) Compiling your own kernel Compiling your own kernel is a bit more involved, but we'll get through it. First, you're going to need a few files from the download section of http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ elks-x.x.xx.tar.gz images.zip elkscmd-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz Dev86bin-x.xx.x.tar.gz Okay, so you've got the files. Personally, I like to keep them in /ELKS/ so that's what I'll assume you're doing. So cd to /ELKS and let's get started. The first thing we need to do is install the development tools. cp Dev86bin-x.x.xx.tar.gz / cd / tar xvzf Dev86bin-x.x.xx.tar.gz rm Dev86bin-x.x.xx.tar.gz Now you should have the 8086 development tools installed. Next, we need to cd back to /ELKS/ and untar the ELKS kernel sources. cd /ELKS tar xvzf elks-x.x.xx.tar.gz cd ./elks Now that we're in the source directory, we can start setting up the kernel. The first thing that needs to be done is make config You'll be asked a few questions about how you want the kernel set up. For now, we'll accept the defaults and just keep hitting enter until we get to the end, then make You'll see a lot of warnings go by for a few minutes, and then we'll assume a perfect compile. So we'll now have a diskette image file with our new kernel on it. We'll assume we built for the 8086. The image is a little buried, so we'll have to dig into the source tree to find it. cd /ELKS/elks/arch/i86/ ls If the compile was successful, you'll have an "Image" file here, and you'll have to get it onto a diskette. I'll assume "/dev/fd0". dd if=Image of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192 This will be your boot disk, but you'll need a root disk, too, so cd /ELKS/ unzip images.zip dd if=root of=/dev/fd0 bs=8192 After that, you should be able to use the boot and root disks and watch ELKS work its Linux-like magic on your machine.
