tools! boyy! tools first!

I am going to use the following tools.

1. NASM - the netwide assembler for assembling the code
2. dd - the 'data definition' tool for creating disk images
3. bochs - an x86 emulator

GNU/Linux users may have NASM and dd packaged in the distribution; Download and install Bochs.

Microsoft Windows users could use Cygwin for NASM and dd. Bochs has a windows binary available for download.
