I think the best thing to do, is to start documenting how
to configure, compile and run plex86 from a user's view.
Reading source code is not necessary.
Start from a top level intro doc. Then have links to
various tasks, such as:
running ./configure (with configure options)
installing the VGA font.
creating disk image files for various sizes with 'dd'.
user config file options
a FAQ
running both the kernel module and user program, including
user program options.
I haven't heard much on the XML/SGML front. Assume use
of XML/DocBook for now. Even some skeleton files would
be a good start.
