Phil, Matt, other Windows/LegOS users-
If anyone would like to write them up, I'd love to add Windows
instructions to my LegOS HOWTO. Only problem is that I cannot test them
myself, so I need others to provide them and make them usable.
Currently, I (like Markus) link to Gavin Smyth's page. Is the problem that
Gavin's instructions are insufficient? Unclear?
Alternately, arthurdent.dorm.duke.edu (which hosts the HOWTO) is no
longer my primary work machine, and as a result, I can host a complete
Windows build on it, at high speed*. If anyone who has a working build can
zip it and send it to me or let me know where I can grab it, I can post it
on my site for access for future Windows users.
Similarly, for Linux users, I will probably soon be packaging the
cross-compiler, LegOS, the HOWTO, and emuLegOS into .deb files for users
of Debian Linux. Hopefully, it won't be too difficult to turn those into
.rpms for RedHat users. Please let me know if you'd be interested.
-Luis
*This assumes that I don't get more than 10,000 hits a day, the limit
allowed by the school. Unless it gets posted to /. again, I don't think
that will be a problem.
