The .init section for global constructors in the kernel is unused at the moment as the _init function is never invoked, but its existence means it got linked at 128 MiB on i686. This address isn't mapped by the kernel and the bootloader requires the machine to have that much physical memory. Unfortunately that meant the i686 build didn't work on machines with less than 129 MiB of memory. |

The Sortix Operating System =========================== Sortix is a small self-hosting operating-system aiming to be a clean and modern POSIX implementation. It is a hobbyist operating system written from scratch with its own base system, including kernel and standard library, as well as ports of third party software. It has a straightforward installer and can be developed under itself. Releases come with the source code in /src, ready for tinkering. It has been in development since 2011 by a single developer and contributors. Though the system is stable and capable right now, it is still early in development, and a number of crucial features haven't been made yet. Releases are made yearly and future releases will add features such as networking, SMP, and USB that were skipped in favor of becoming self-hosting now. Documentation ------------- The system is documented as manual pages. Introductory system usage is covered in the user-guide(7) manual page. Links ----- For more information, please visit the official website: https://sortix.org/ Building Sortix --------------- Development of Sortix under itself is covered in development(7). Development from another operating system is covered in cross-development(7). You can view the cross-development(7) manual page with this command: man share/man/man7/cross-development.7 License ------- Copyright 2011-2016 Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen and contributors.
