- The enclosed source code and Makefile I used together with Borland C++
- and Turbo Assembler version 3.1. It is possible another C compiler
- and/or assembler could be used, but may require modifications. If you
- modify the source code, be aware of that the ??date and ??time macros on
- your assembler *must* expand to 8 bytes each, or the boot sector will be
- garbled. Also, please watch the two "checkpoint" lines in LDLINUX.ASM;
- the program is loaded in three parts (boot sector, first sector of
- LDLINUX.SYS, remainder of LDLINUX.SYS) and these checkpoints must be <=
- the value specified, or you will be executing code not yet loaded. :(
-
- Finally, if you do not have PKLite on your system, you need to remove
- the lines starting with "hdropt" and "pklite" in the Makefile.
-
- Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
