But now how do I go about creating the " block filesystem on top of NFTL", that I need to use?=20 For example, I've gotten with my test image, as far as creating a floppy disk image, and booting that, inside the Bochs emulator. It worked, the test kernel launched, and told me that the kernel did what it was supposed to do.=20 My other problem, is that I still can not get the utilities inside that directory to properly compile, they always break when trying to create the ones that manage the JFFS2 stuff. I am hoping that the snapshot from yesterday has been fixed, but I don't know. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
