Is it unrealistic to try to build it under solaris?  I'm a bit
confused i had three different paths i thought about taking:

a) compile under solaris (i have a spare disk in the same box and
it would make it very easy if this is a feasable option)

b) cross compile under freebsd, hard to test but i could use
netbooting

c) netbsd (this one is kinda not going to work as they don't have
bootblocks and they have been quiet about developemnt)

If i choose option 'a' do i need to make a cross compiler anyway
being that solaris 2.6 is 32 bit? if so, i think i might as well
do option 'b'.

C seems a bit farfetched as i'd be porting netbsd instead of freebsd
:)

*cringing*

d) under ultrapenguine?

Only problem it seems is that for all the hype ultra penguine got
it supports almost no hardware, not even serial ports, just gx
graphics ( i have a creator ) and some odd ethernet chipset (i have
hme, they don't)

Thanks for your time,
-Alfred
