the only other problem would be that your network adapter is not supported :( .

thanks

I am currently working on it now. It only displays text but the point is demonstrate the new Network system as well as the ability to download documents and parse them.

Both opensource and GPLed. Hence, any use of those codebases without providing your own sources is a license infringement. Is your NT-based kernel capable of running Windows applications and drivers? Or perhaps you are just using the general NT-family model in your own kernel? Right now there are two ways to obtain the “NT-based” kernel, LUK and ReactOS. Both opensource and GPLed.

SDK is going to be very essential!, we will have the desktop completed and hopefully orchid (web browser) and a simple FTP program and an SDK to develop your own apps. myself, i will still offer support for AURA (freedos). basically because freedos is a replacement for MSDOS it also (this goes without saying) has the same pitfalls and problems which caused its MS-DOS’s death in the first place..

The licenses thingy; just refer to their creators, no doubting the license. As an example: ReactOS ( <a href="http://www.reactos.org/en/index.html" rel="nofollow"> ) is using NT-based kernel, sure it is an open source, still, but the uses of the software is allowed by green light from Windows NT developer. So, if you want to do something, you might try contacting the developers not refering their patents. @Everyone – keep it free at least.

Aura started out with Ozone GUI. But over the period of development, we have almost rewritten the entire system. The last things to be rewritten are the base files (the kernel and drivers) which are currently in the form of a DOS application. By transforming it into a NT Kernel, the last piece of Ozone will be replaced and this thing will be all Aura. As for the closed source, I simply would like Aura to stay Aura. I understand your point however I don't want people branching off into sub groups of my system. Of course I will release an SDK with all the APIs and tools necessary to create Aura applications. Drivers and themes may be also supported by the SDK. Which essentially allows the user to setup their system as needed and customize their themes. Thanks for your interest in Aura.
