I am trying to install brickOS-02.6.09 under Windows XP using the latest instructions (version 1.2, 19.09.02). When building the gcc compiler I get the attached errors. Afterwards I notice that I constantly get 'permission denied' when I type any (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Joe, Thanks for your reply, I guess that is the solution to use in this case. I'll still just get values every 20ms. By changing the timeslice I could have this go a bit faster though. Thomas (23 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

A ducted fan approach may work. Ducted fan hovercraft have one or two big fan blades on the back that push the craft forward, but a duct takes some of the air and uses it to fill the skirt. This is probably the "lightest" design approach. Direction (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
