Thanks for summing this up very well, you said just about what I was going to say :) Now if only VMWare's virtual partition didn't get corrupted half the time in GNU, or if I could get plex86 to work, or another machine, I could be sending patches here myself. Marcus, I saw on the plex86 list that you tried to get gnumach/hurd booting at some point. How far have you gotten with this? > Thanks, > Marcus > > -- > `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
