hello. I have a small home-self made Operating System for commercial use. I'd like to find some nice code generators/software for it. Any suggestions?

2nd Question: how do you convert Operating Systems inside folders and subfolders into whole .iso file?

3rd question: how do I set automatic updates on operating systems, so that disk .iso file is under 4.7GB when its actually 80GB?

thank you. :)

With a build script and a tool like xorriso.

How is your OS 80GB?

I believe our definitions of "small" have diverged significantly.

Well, if it's a new OS then you have to write (or port) applications for it. (Or find someone to do this for you.)

Unless, that is, you have coded your OS to be 100% compatible with an existing OS, so that you can use existing applications. If that is the case I would advise you to get a good lawyer before you attempt to release it for commercial use, both to protect your intellectual property and to make absolutely sure that you are not infringing one someone else's IP. In any case that's probably a good idea before asking for money for your OS.

Why the screenshots of the Windows 8 license pages?

Pretty sure the OP really wants to know how to encode DRM into their OS. Pretty easy to do if your writing an OS.
