It's probably better to learn how to do this in C first.  Issuing
system calls and writing to video memory from a protected-mode program
is fairly advanced stuff, even in C.  Add inline assembly subtleties
to that, and you have a problem that many newbies will stumble on.

I'd suggest to read chapter 18 of the DJGPP FAQ list, write your
program in C, and when that works, rewrite it in assembly.
