I can only second this advice. The basics are pretty much: Download a compressed filesystem-image Download a kernel image Uncompress both in a directory of your choice (You might need to twiddle a little; I had to chmod +x the kernel, and rename the root filesystem) run the kernel from an xterm, and watch in awe, as the slink system 'boots', and subsequently spawns three xterms with each a login prompt... Many many kudos to Jacques (and anyone else who contributed) for making this stuff available... It rocks! Just fyi, the docs are at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/uml.html <snipped kernel/gcc versions stuff> I have nothing to add to that, so I'll just... not ;) hth Jon Clausen _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
