Open Source Mac Boot Software

GAG is a graphical boot manager, designed to be easy-to-use and intuitive, but without loosing advanced features, like passwords or swapping drives.

Ranish Boot and Partitioning Tools

A web based GUI for managing PXE boot and optionally managing DHCP service. Also supports creating and serving Kickstart and preseed scripts. This provides a client install in one click. This is a generic framework created to work with anything that's PXE bootable. Adding new hosts can be done via "PXE enrollment" where the client PXE boots to enroll into OneClickKick. Easily integrated with existing naming sources such as NIS and LDAP for central lookup of host and mac address information. OneClickKIck can also be integrated with FreeIPA (www.freeipa.org) to allow adding and modifying hosts directly in IPA.

Committed to the development of fundamental ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) components for Linux. This includes a generic ACPI table parser, AML interpreter, bus and device drivers, policy, user interface, and support tools.

The netboot project allows booting a diskless PC over a TCP/IP based network using standard protocols like BOOTP, DHCP and TFTP. It is able to boot Linux, FreeBSD, multiple DOS variants (including MS-DOS, PC-DOS, PTS-DOS, OpenDOS, NovellDOS, FreeDOS)

ARMboot is an Open-Source firmware suite for ARM based platforms. ARMboot is heavily based on the sister-project PPCboot, which provides similar functionality on PowerPC based systems. ARMboot shall be a common, easy-to-use and easy-to-port boot platform

With this project I intend to write a really, really simple OS, just for fun and learning. I think I will never have a really usable version, as I said, that's no my objective.

The FDOS Operaing System is 100% written in Assembler (NASM). It supports FAT 12, TSR and a small Multi Kernel System. The source is very good documentated (only in English). A German, russian and English Documentation (about 40 pages) are included.

iBoot (the Interactive BOOTmenu system) is a set of applications that creates, configures, and manages a startup/boot menu that can boot Mac OS, Linux, and BSD Unix systems for PPC Macs.

gives remote control of a PC running MS-DOS (which e.g. does not have a monitor display attached to it). The screen image (currently text mode only) is taken from the graphics card and transferred to other computer via serial link and displayed there

JTAG-O-MAT is a simple but highly configurable command line tool for Win32 and Linux based PCs, mainly used to upload initial software to virgin embedded system via a JTAG interface.

Blob is a boot loader for SA11x0 (StrongARM) platforms. Blob is able to boot a Linux kernel stored in flash or RAM and provide that kernel with a ramdisk (again from flash or RAM).

Boot loader and FLASH burner for the Motorola 68360 processor (aka Power QUICC). Based on CoLILO linux loader for Motorola Coldfire processors, however this boot loader is OS independent. Supports systems with multiple FLASH devices, runs from RAM for f

Agnix is an educational, network operating system kernel. It is ideal starting point to learn about operating systems. The main goal of the project is to provide a network kernel fully compatible with the Linux Kernel in the system call layer

BIOS for Samsung S3C4510B based boards. You can use it to setup CPU/ROM/SDRAM/EXTIO, manage and burn flash, load OS kernel and pass arguments to OS kernel (now only uClinux).

C Languae, Linux Kernel patch & tools

Platform - independent implementation of Bart's Cdrpack (http://www.nu2.nu) to simplify building of MultibootCD using Boot Scriptor and others. BuildMultiboot is entirely written in Java using Swing and only needs cdrecord/mkisofs and a bourne shell to r

Covert Linux is technology of instalation for Linux without repartition the disk and running from native system, e.g. you can install Linux from ,say, Windows by grabbing some SETUP.EXE, launching it and then clicking on desktop icon.

daemonic provides server packages with an abstract, system-independent interface to system startup scripts and inetd.

FreeBSD Control Center is a tool that provides a graphical environment for configuration, tuning and making services available in an few clicks of the mouse.

THIS PROJECT IS INACTIVE!!

This is a java version of the famous fortune game from BSD. I am writing this program in java so that people can have a platform independent version of this great utility. I am also hoping to add some features and make jfortune fun to use.

Several small projects; A simple UDP chat program in visual basic, a full screen movie player, a tv guide program for Canberra, Australia

Multicast BOOTP Java server and C client

Nemesis is a tiny real time operating system kernel based on x86 PCs. Its main purpose is to serve as a simple but realistic example of an real time OS kernel running on real hardware..the purpose of this is that it can be embedded in small devices lik
