Desert Spring-Time: An Operating System Project This is the official release of the Desert Spring-Time prototype operating system. It is written almost entirely in OCaml. The system is comprised of: - IDE driver and partition reading code - NE2000 ISA driver - Realtek 8139 PCI driver - VBE (via GRUB) support in 32bit mode - PS/2 mouse & keyboard support - Networking stack It has two command-line tools for testing networking: nslookup and ping. Each takes an address, and an optional interface number (an integer starting at 0) as arguments. Interfaces are automatically set up once a DHCP lease has successfully been obtained—there is currently no support for manually configuring an interface. The sources are available online at <http://glek.net/subversion/os/kernel>, as well as a floppy image <http://dst.purevoid.org/>. To test in qemu, the following options are required to test networking and graphics: -std-vga (for VBE), and -isa (for NE2000 card to be present in ISA mode).
