I have been to your page a few times in the past, and I am familiar with your excellent research work.

Hmm.. That is farther than I have gotten with Linux..

Not that I can tell. Just BusyBox and a few other things running from a ramdisk. Getting a kernel up and running
though is very exciting to me, and means that we just need to figure out how and what was done to get the NetBSD
kernel up and running and do the same with Linux. Anyway, I unfortunately have several other open source projects
going right now to look at this again.

I was mostly just rattling the list to see if anything new came out of the wood work.
