:-) ELKS isn't coming along too badly either. It boots, can mount a (minix) root disk, and run init. I think the console driver is working, and somebody is porting a tiny shell to it. Unfortunately fork() isn't done yet, so no multitasking. There seems to be a kernel size limit of 64k, which is being a bit of a problem. Kernel-based TCP/IP seems unlikely. hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
