Or port ELKS to Linux user space, like UML. This helps testing the syst= em, though does not help to test hardware drivers for example: anyway it ca= n be a useful task both to make ELKS portable and test ELKS as a "normal" pr= ocess runnable on Linux. --=20 - G=E1bor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-8086" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
