Welcome to the Nexus operating system! For an overview of
system requirements for booting on bare metal or for executing in a
virtual machine, see the online User Guide at:
Nexus OS Overview
Once booted, the system will boot up to a command prompt with multiple
active processes. Use Alt-Tab to scroll through the list of active
processes. For each, the name is displayed in the top-left corner of the
screen:
- explorer.app is the first application you will see. This is a
user-level shell that will let you browse the filesystem and start
additional tasks from /bin. Enter 'help' for the list of commands.
- kernel is an in-kernel shell for system configuration tasks, such
as taking ownership of the TPM or running diagnostics. Again, 'help'
list available commands.
Don't hesitate to send questions and bug reports. The online contact
page has the addresses.
Have fun and enjoy!
