no sorry bud

anonymous · Answer

If you ask for a programming language: C or Assembly
Stuff to check for: Processor platform, Bootloader, Kernel, API(POSIX).
My advice: Check some Operating Systems courses/tutorials to give you a basic idea of what an OS is.

i think you need to learn about operating system, like UNIX, and basically you need to learn C programming to build the System

Visit http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/MakingOS.aspx you will have a comprehensive knowledge on building your own OS.

It is not easily, you will need to learn assembly C, and take basic courses in operating system, and that still won't give you enough knowldge to make a OS, but it can give you enough knowldge to modfi a existing one, such as any UNIX derivative
