Hi Guylhem, I'm CC'ing the coreboot mailing list as they seem to know a bit about OLPC and I know very little.

It seems very active. Is it in alpha state ? It's active now, but I am still pretty much the only code contributor. (Though, I welcome any additional contributors.) There has been a name change - I now call it "SeaBIOS". I'd say it is in a near release state for use with emulators (qemu or bochs). It's in an early beta stage for use on real hardware (with coreboot). I am able to boot my via epia-m with coreboot+seabios and run freedos. > I would like to know in order to try to run Freedos on the OLPC > (www.laptop.org) for some legacy applications that could be usefull > for children in Brasil. > > I have an OLPC, and I can do some C, so I may give a hand if you could > point me to documentation. > If Freedos could somehow work reliably enough, I would be happy to > test and package it for the OLPC. I'm not sure if you're looking to run natively or via an emulator. If you're looking to run natively then I imagine it may require some effort to get it up and running. If you're looking to run via an emulator, then it should just work.
