I have been struggling with p3nfsd for the lat couple of days in a effort
to test your code without success so far. No doubt I will get it working
eventualyy. I did before. I had to give up on the plp package as it just
doesn't seem to work on the series 3.

Difficult to define. May aim is to have a stable monolithic OS running
on IBM PCs and as many similar machines as possible using the segmented
architecture of the 8086. I would ideally like the system to be well suited
to educational use as well.
It would be very easy to use elks together with pcemu as made available
by David Given to teach elementary OS design.
