No deeper reason.
I want to only allow Java and CIL (.NET ) apps to be installed thus giving me memory protection and easy multi platform. Anyway I took the .38 kernel from Linus's tree and tried to compile with !CONFIG_MMU but got lots of errors ( though mainly in mmu .c code the linker will pull out) , I take it I should work with the uClinux patch instead ? Can this patch be applied to 38 ? Also can the nvidia driver work ? > >> 2.

Shared lib is a nice to have ,but at this time with 4Gig im not worried. Maybe can use AOT and stat link . No issues with gc threads and fork ?
