VERY basic linux system 250

that's just naming conventions so should be easy enough.

Note of course that you're not "getting rid of the filesystem hierarchy" you are just changing it.

that's easy- "linux" per se is just a kernel. the "commands" are add-on clones taken from Unix so there's little reason why you couldn't invent your own.

Like modern Windows, Linux is inherently multi-user but I suppose you could always just run in single-user mode if you really wanted to for some reason. throws away all security, stability, and so on but doable if you really want.

All source is available so anything is possible. You might get this all working without actual modifictaion to Linux per se ( the kernel) but of course you'd end up with something that doesn't look or feel like any existing OS- and would have almost no software available to run on it.

But maybe you're looking at an embedded application so maybe that's appropriate. In the long run though you will likely find that since you're inventing almost everything you need this will be a LOT of work.

Sounds like what you really want is---- DOS!
