I now have a kernel tree that compiles, I can roll out the patches (hang on).

Actually cocoboot now boots both, but it's GPL so it can't be in the tree (and you need patched gcc2, binutils and who knows what else to compile palmos apps ... also you need palmos sdk, which can't be downloaded from palm.com anymore and has some really funny license too). And it can't be relicenced. Also, it'd be very hard to replace palmos because of MSystems diskonchip thing there. http://marex.hackndev.com/cocoboot.prc should work. > > Anyway, as the page states that port snapshots lay on FTP, some action > should be taken - either snapshots should hit the FTP or links should be > removed from "http://www.openbsd.org/palm.html";. > > Those were the reasons why I've disturbed this list mambers.
