Making a DIY smart or dumb phone

Hey guix, EOMA68, and bug-hurd! I'm getting really tired of carrying my Android phone around with google's spyware, so I thought that I would try to make myself a DIY dumb or smart phone... What gets me excited is to see simple guides like this that show you how to make your own smartphone that

I love Samuel's positivity. He's probably one of the most positive people I know. I read recently that 80% of your success is mental and only 20% is technical skill. For example Gregor Mendel failed his teachers' exams three times, but he still spent 10 years cross breeding 21,000 plants to

Re: GNUmach compiling on ppc64le

You may be interested in this wiki page, which mentions what is needed for 64-bit support. I believe the current plan is to have a 64-bit kernel with a 32 bit user space (though 64 bit kernel and 64 bit user space would be cool too). http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/64-bit_port

Hello Edward! Welcome aboard! For getting into the TCP/IP stack you could take a look at this item: https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5469 (https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?5469) I guess the current pfinet (TCP/IP stack) uses the linux 2 series TCP/IP stack. Recently lwip has been ported to the

Also, please bear in mind Samuel, I still am unable to get the Hurd wiki to render locally. So I'm not certain if the syntax in the previous patch is good. But I figured a patch is better than no patch. Thanks, Joshua

Wiki Edits: a smattering of small changes

This week, I've tried to split up my commits into individual patches. Patch 1) I changed the command to start the hurd "kvm" -> "qemu-system-i386" Patch 2) I removed the mention of the ufs partition type in the old Hurd FAQ. I will eventually attempt to merge all the FAQs
