Hello there.
Just wanted to add a few words.
Please note that this project is useful also as an OS running on top of 8086
emulator for mobile phones. It would be nice to have a Linux-like machine
inside your Nokia, which will probably never be capable of running full i386
emulation.

Hi everybody,
Wondering how many other brain-damaged people are
intersted in this project :)
I guess still lots of us :-)
.. snip..
So... what can I lend a hand to?
The website could use
a little work,
Definitely, what we need is a wiki site so that everybody can contribute.
I am a bit disappointed that Rask Lambertsen's GCC port and the Dioscuri
emulator (which runs ELKS!) are not mentioned on the website, come on
guys, it can't be that much work to add some hyperlinks...
every site aside from the sourceforge
project page and cix.co.uk listed on the main site is
inaccessible.
Also, I've come across some mail
archives other than what's lited on vger, which does
not exist. Or... maybe there's a 16-bit gcc patch
someone's been cooking and needs some authentic iron
to try it out on?
Yes please, Rask Lambertsen has done a great job in patching GCC for the
8086. Compiling ELKS under GCC is not going to be easy but IMHO will be
very beneficial for the wider embedded user community and hence will/might
increase the popularity of ELKS.
However, having said that, any contribution is welcome. Just work on what
you are interested in and publish the result on a webpage.
