Browser, buy a cheap PC and run whatever you like on it.
Wow that solves everything.  That was a good session.

it's not a big problem in itself.  i quite enjoy it for
the reasonably well-documented chipsets one finds in (say)
embedded ARM and PowerPC platforms.  for those, i hardly ever
bother to look at another driver.  it's just so straightforward.
i look at the book and do what it says.  it doesn't work, so i
find there's an errrata or fuss about discovering that a bit
has the opposite sense from what's documented.  no matter.

on the PC, it's rather more troublesome: when i could get
reasonable documentation it was much the same as anything else.
without it, it's tedious, and perhaps too time-consuming
if i'm doing it in my spare time.  theo de raadt's slides
were quite a good summary.

still, there's not much choice, really.
