Even if elks is 'never' even gona be a subset of linux, and that is not a major aspect for me at least as the 8088 in itself is cool to have good programs for, the idea to shift more to linux side is appealing. I have also thought in the areas of netbsd kernels, to let it work in a subset environment. All this might come if the gcc-8088 compiler seams stable for it. > > Anyways thats all for now.
