A computer method and system for user-specified loading of an operating system. Operating system load modules, composed of permanent load modules and variable load modules, are stored on a storage device. The permanent load modules and variable load modules each comprise operating system instructions. Although all of the permanent load modules are included in the operating system, only variable load modules that are specified by the user are included in the operating system. A user identification is initially obtained of variable load modules to be included as user-specified load modules in the operating system. Upon computer startup, the user-specified load modules and the permanent load modules are loaded into memory. The operating system instructions comprised by the user-specified load modules and permanent load modules thus comprise the loaded operating system.
