  0. What is Snixos Project?
	Snixos Project is an experimental operating system designed by Jockeyson
  , KeqianGao <[e-mail]> aiming at multitask/multithread, Chinese envionment 
  including Chinese characters input and ouput etc...

  1. What you need to run Snixos
	PC with the following minimum configuration:
	CPU: i386 or above
	MEM: 2M extended memory or more
	DISPLAY: VGA or above
	Floppy Drive: 1.44M

  2. Compile Environment
	RH Linux 7.2 or above (kernel 2.4.7-10 )
	NASM 0.98 
	gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)

  3. Compile and install

     a. unpack the source package
	tar zxvf snixos_x.x_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.tgz
     b. cd to snixos
	cd snixos
     c. before make insert a 1.44M floppy in drive
	c.1 to make snixos run in VGA text mode	
	  make clean
	  make VIDEO=TEXT diskimg
	  make floppy
	c.2 to make snixos run VGA graphics mode 
	  make clean
	  make diskimg
	  make floppy
     d. bootup with the floppy just created in step c
	
     also you can follow this way to run snixos in bochs either in Windows or Linux

     a. just as the above
     b. just as the above
     c. invoke these command:
        make clean; make diskimg 
        you'll get a snixos image file called snixosCN.img, also a bochs configuration file is 
        prepared named bochsrc-fd-Lnx.bxrc or bochsrc-fd-win.bxrc (assumed version of the bochs is 2.1.1). 
     d. in windows: double click the config file bochsrc-fd-win.bxrc to launch the bochs 
                    and snixos will run in bochs (passed test under bochs 2.1.1)
        in Linux :  invoke this command: bochs -f ./bochsrc-fd-Lnx.bxrc

Enjoy fun!
