I got involved in the parisc-linux port because the MKLinux port said it worked on every 715 except the 715/33 ... and I only had a pair of 715/33 machines at the time. I don't remember looking at the MKLinux port for ideas, though others may have done so. I did a paper for OLS2000 which is basically an early 'state of the port': http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/docs/willy/ols2.pdf There used to be a weekly report, which is still at http://www.parisc-linux.org/weekly/ though as you can see, it's been a while since that was updated. There have been some 'state of the port' emails, typically in january: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2004-January/022058.html http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2004-February/022309.html http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-January/018884.html http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-January/018898.html I think we kind of forgot for 2005 ;-) _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
