Theres also a more suitable project under way. Instead of emulating a complete system it just translates the assembler code and transaltes syscalls to your architecture. I don't know its name because I only heart from it. Falk Hueffner is trying to get his Mathematica(i386) running on his alpha with it. >From what he told me its way faster than bochs and transperent. Could probably made into a binary_misc style module so the kernel supports i386 elf binaries. MfG Goswin
