cowboot

create a bootable USB stick with a cow saying your name! boot2cow

Why?

I (re)started to read the book linux-insides in which the booting process is discussed.

The author writes a simple real-mode program that outputs a '!' character onto the screen via INT 10H.

As a learning experience, I've decided to create a small boot image which displays cowsay with a dedicated message upon boot.

But, cowsay?

YES. I love cows.

Requirements

  • cowsay
  • unix2dos
  • nasm

Installation

make MSG=<your boot message here>
sudo make install MEDIA=<your destination media here>
