Sorry, such a thing doesn't exist. I think there's something akin to SuseStudio for Ubuntu, but it has a CLI, no GUI.
Linux From Scratch (LFS) is the next best thing. You'll need quite a bit of resolve, though
: The first time I went through it (I've done it multiple times
), it took me around 25hrs of PC time and a few GBs of HDD space to complete the book.
Granted, LFS is easier than the alternative: I've been working on my C++ OS for a few years on and off, and I don't even have decent memory allocation yet (I DO have a colorful command-line though
).
Don't worry, OS development just takes some time! If you want to do this, go for it!
+1. The OSDev wiki is my main source of information for "OSDeving", as it's called.
Also, I've seen an OS (
http://code.google.com/p/cleese/, albeit extremely minimal) written in Python, though the developers
did have to port Python, but it's
possible to write the bulk of an OS in a high-level language (my OS is written in C++, if you can call that high-level).
All in all, though, Cleese is worth a look if you know Python, and aren't afraid of having to mess with someone else's unmaintained code.
