Operating System

The operating system is responsible for setting up the virtual filesystem, as well as setting any environment variables and starting the starting application (usually bash). The included BaseLinux operating system creates a Linux-like environment, with all of the included applications installed in /usr/bin. It also sets up the $PATH, a user home folder, and starts up a bash terminal in interactive mode. You can look at its code to get an idea of how to create your own OS, and also inherit from it as the starting point for your own OS.
