Build Instructions

A build of gcc and binutils with i686-elf target triplet is required. dosfstools and mtools are also required for creating disk image. QEMU with target i686 or x86-64 is required for emulation

Run make to create disk image and kernel image, run make qemu to start qemu emulation.
