The release cycle has been surprisingly consistent with all past releases I
experienced or heard of. It doesn't seem to depend on the number of released
architectures at all.

Hi,
For some reason or other, I couldn't build oskit-mach in Linux. It has
been a while since I tried it, so I'm not exactly sure why. I know I couldn't
seem to cross-compile oskit, it choked on "memcpy" or something, couldn't
link it properly. Maybe I was trying to cross-compile oskit-mach an

You want "--prefix=" (an empty prefix). For the kernel itself, it really
doesn't matter if you configure it or just do "make install prefix=".
For oskit, it writes direc

... and the smp sample kernel booted!
It took a grueling 75 minutes, wherein my spiffy UW SCSI
hard drive made incessant grinding crunchy noises the likes
of which I haven't heard since about 1990 with a ST225 MFM
drive! ( I can build oskit natively for Linux in < 10 mins )
But it worked! I must
