So users should edit the source or use devfs, wright ? I'll never get plex86 running without edit the source or use devfs, wright ?
Let explain my attention with this, I'm going to write a Install file to anyone quickly setup the plex86 from cvs. >I did the latter for the 2.4.17 kernel on my Debian Potatoe box. >You'll want to apt-get install kernel-package, so that you can use >mae-kpkg to makeyour own kernel .debs.
