Actually, this bug is well known: the cat function is a quick hack, and will
disappear soon anyways.

Hello

Looks like OSKit bugging out on you, nothing unheard of. OSKit currently
provides drivers and threading, but it's old, unmaintained,  and not
completely stable. Currently there is discussion about building Unununium
on top of a posix kernel [linux mainly, but getting it to run on FreeBSD
and friends, even Darwin, wouldn't be hard if it even required any work],
and this would get rid of OSKit's bugs.

The shell is minimal but it's nice so far, real Linux CLI look and feel.
Anyways after playing around with some commands, I tried to do
$ cat boot
but was pleasantly beaten over the head because it's not a file, but a
directory. I expected things to be all hunky dory, but when I attempted
an ls I got the following error message (I had to get it with a
screenshot, I couldn't copy from qemu [or is this because of uuu? I'm not
sure]). I also apologize if my free webhost spams you when you
clickthrough to the file, but hey, it's free.

Neh, it's not cat, it's that oskit for some reason can't accept a
working directory other than root. Do "cd /" and it will be happy again.
I'd like to think oskit is so problematic because I did something wrong,
but it really looks like it's just crappy.

I'm currently working on a port of unununium to posix. Although less
efficient, it will allow the boring low level cruft and instead work on
things that have not been done 1000 times. Also it will allow more
people to try Unununium more easilly, make development cycles faster,
etc. So, stay tuned.
