I was fiddling with getting GSRC to build a complete system for a while, but got pulled away by other projects before I really got anywhere. LNX-BBC uses GAR (which GSRC is based on) to build a complete system; if you're interested, you may want to look at how it works. <http://www.lnx-bbc.com> -- ~ LukeShu http://lukeshu.ath.cx
