Thanks for the offer.
I have put the modified version of the files on a new documentation
page at http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/doc/.
Matt's file included the clearest instructions on installing, so I corrected
the technical errors and put it up as INSTALL, and Phillip's contained
the best overall view, and compiling the kernel documentation, though it
does need some work. /usr/src is a much more conventional place to keep
source code than /ELKS/, and this what the Makefiles expect you to have done.
It may be worth noting that RedHat 6.1 comes with bcc installed and can be used
to build the elks kernel without installing Dev86. I am not sure whether
it will build binaries correctly as it may not be built against the right
syscall.dat file.
I also corrected the URLs. http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ is the
advertised homepage URL. The other version, which I won't put here
because I want to stop it, will still work, but should not be spread.
Thanks to both of you for contributing the docs.
Also on the page is some stuff I wrote when I was learning ELKS. Hope it
is useful to someone.
