I finally got around to playing with my dreamcast again. I must say that I
am very impressed. I was able to cross compile the entire userland and
kernel on i386 without a hitch. Sources from the 10th. Booted right up
using the ipslave. I was _very_ thrilled.

Can't use any swap space currently however. As soon as I turned swap on
and started to let the box cook, it would panic. So for now everything has
to be done within 16MB. I was not able to build the kernel or userland
natively because of the lack of memory unfortunatly.

I was able to compile apache, and run it without a problem though.

I just wanted to say thanks for everyone working on this port!
