        Sorry for jumping, but I have something to say.

        I own two Pentium running Linux. And now I've buy
        a 486sx for running Minix. And I have also an old 
        Sun 4/110. I'm thinking about porting Minix on
        this "venerable machine". For me, this is a long
        term project, starting in Feb or Mar 99. 

        Why Minix ? my answer is "Why not ? the fun !".
        but, may-be we can share code. Booting an OS,
        cross compiling, remote debugging are common
        task. And I like the code from ast. May be the
        best way for understanding any "real OS".
        
        Best regards from France.
        Thierry.
