Hi all,
There are a few things that I want to get done in the next couple
of weeks. It are all relatively small tasks, but they add up to more
time than I can spend alone. So if you think you can be of assistance
in one of the projects below drop me a mail...
- providing a method to install from 1.44Mb floppies.
I thought about using 'md1'. It should not be difficult, but
needs some testing.
- Checking the installation docs (cleanup, clarify some things
add things from the beginner.install).
- Check for (and create) missing atari specific man pages. Missing
are at least ide(4), ser(4)
Not relocating the kernel to TT-ram has solved the MMU-fault problems for
Benni and Udo. I don't have the faintest idea why this is the case, but I
will make relocation an option (it _is_ faster) and no relocation the
default.
Is any of you interested in having ATAPI support on the IDE interface? This
is just for the record ;-)
Leo.
