Show HN: MesaOS – An operating system written from scratch in Rust

so the built-in nano helps a lot, since the help output scrolled off the screen. I tried to use head, less, and more. I could redirect help output to a file (but until I found nano, could not page that). I also looked for dd.

The VNC UI seems generally stable, I was able to log in as all three users, and issue many commands.

Is there a bundled assembler or compiler. How can I write apps for this? Do you have a way to cross-compile and mount a shared folder or scp binaries in?

Hey. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner (I was asleep). Here's how it works: you put your files directly from your main OS into the "inyect" folder (where the `bin` folder and other items are located). You add your binaries there and then rebuild the ISO. That way, when you boot up MesaOS, your file(s) should be inside.
