I've given Mike a copy of the iso (as he was the only one I knew who used LilyDev in anger) and I FTP'd the iso to Phil's website last night. As far as I know, this is good to go. Thomas the ISO is a 32 bit, 10.04 version of Ubuntu that can be installed directly on hardware or, as I do, used in a Virtual Machine on any x86 based hardware (i.e. Virtual Box for Windows/Mac/Linux). I've compiled the binary using as little as 750mb of RAM with a single CPU - you'll need about 10GB of disk space (give or take), but if you ever wanted to make the whole doc you'd need more and 1 CPU with small amounts of RAM would take a while to compile all the doc. For LSR you don't need this, obviously. It doesn't do GUB, but it has everything else asked for on the tracker. I can take a look at the quick start over the weekend, but after the iso is downloaded (and I am no programmer) I can be installed with Virtual Box and have a compiled binary - of the latest dev version - in less than an hour (assuming you have a relatively fast internet to download the code) of which 80% of that is letting the computer just run.
