Explanation of a few lines in Assembly?

Ah! "THIS LINE" just reserves space for "OEMNAME". Put the name of your OS there, if you like - padded to 11 bytes.

($$ is the same as "start" - beginning of section - 0x7C00 - in this case).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
