As I've only been compiling for OS4 (PPC) it isn't possible to run it on anything else without a considerable amount of modification and recompiling. Unfortunately that cuts out all emulators (UAE etc only emulate 68k processors) and AROS (will need recompiling and modifying heavily).

I'd like to see somebody create a PXELINUX COM32 module version from that. Not sure whether it is possible, but a mini network-bootable web browser at least has a coolness factor. > Also, I want to update the NetSurf team page: > > http://www.netsurf-browser.org/about/team > > Please could the Chris, François and Vincent give me a couple of > paragraphs, like the ones already there, about which bit of NetSurf you > work on, what system you use, etc. :) Is this ok? Chris is responsible for porting NetSurf to AmigaOS 4, to get an all-round decent web browser on the platform rather than having to use several outdated or incomplete ones. He refuses to deal with any of the core code beyond prodding it with a pointy stick when it doesn't quite work as expected. His development work, testing and compiling is all done on an AmigaOne G4-XE. Chris
