Probably was. Query: is there any way to set up a nommu system with: A) stock vanilla upstream packages (kernel, uClibc, busybox) B) running under qemu I've had a todo item to add a nommu target to Aboriginal Linux but every time I do so I poke at making i386 nommu and it just doesn't seem to want to do that. (Can't imagine why...) Admittedly, last time I tried was sometime in the 2.6.3x's... Rob -- GNU/Linux isn't: Linux=GPLv2, GNU=GPLv3+, they can't share code. Either it's "mere aggregation", or a license violation. Pick one.
