Note that all early compilers before ``mes`` are part of `stage0-posix <https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix>`_.
A kernel boostrapping option is also available at the beginning. The ``hex0-seed`` can be used to compile the ``builder-hex0`` kernel which has its own built-in shell, ``hex0`` compiler and ``src`` tool to load files into its file system. ``builder-hex0`` runs stage0-posix and then builds ``mes`` and ``tcc``. It then builds and launches the `Fiwix <https://github.com/mikaku/Fiwix>` kernel which runs the build until Linux takes over.

builder-hex0 (kernel bootstrap)
===============================
If the kernel-bootstrap option is enabled then the ``builder-hex0`` kernel boots from a hard drive and loads an enormous shell script which embeds files (loaded with the ``src`` command) and the initial commands to build ``hex0-seed``, ``kaem-optional-seed``, and the command which launches stage0-posix using ``kaem-optional-seed`` and the stage0-posix launch script ``kaem.x86``. Builder-hex0 is written in hex0 and can be compiled with any one of ``hex0-seed``, ``sed``, the tiny ``builder-hex0-mini`` boot kernel or it can build itself.

fiwix 1.4.0-lb1

If the kernel bootstrap option is enabled then the Fiwix kernel is built next.
This is a Linux clone which is much simpler to understand and build than Linux.
This version of Fiwix is a fork of 1.4.0 that contains many modifications and
