-Kernel written in Assmebly<br/>
-I'm using a modified JazzOS Bootloader<br/>
-And the MikeOS BASIC Interpreter<br/>
+# What is this?
+This is a simple implementation of a computer kernel<br/>
+written in pure x86 assembly with features including 
+- Read/Write disk operations
+- The ability to boot from the BIOS using the [JazzOS Bootloader](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scprogramming/JazzOS/refs/heads/main/src/bootloader/boot.asm)
+- A modified [MikeOS BASIC interpreter](https://mikeos.sourceforge.net/handbook-appdev-basic.html)
+- A functional POSIX inspired CLI
+
+# What is it for?
+This project is aimed at people wanting to learn<br/>
+more about kernels and low level system functionality.<br/>
+In order to help with comprehension, there are a lot<br/>
+of inline comments descibing what each part does.
+
+# Running it
+In order to build this project on a Linux system run<br/>
+the following commands.
+```
+git clone https://git.javalsai.tuxcord.net/deadvey/crawos.git
+cd crawos
+sudo make
+```
+This will create a directory called 'disk_images' which<br/>
+contains optical and floppy images that can be ran in a<br/>
+virtual machine such as QEMU with
+```
+qemu-system-i386 -drive file=disk_images/crawos.img,if=floppy,format=raw
+```
+Or it can be burnt to a physical disk to be booted from<br/>
+hardware.
+
+# Development
+In order to run this project in testing mode you can use<br/>
+The 'test-linux.sh' bash script which will assemble and<br/>
+boot the virtual machine (QEMU) for testing purposes.<br/>
+```
+./test-linux.sh
+```
+This will dump the contents of memory in /dev/shm/qemu-ram<br/>
+To allow for easier debugging.
