- Hi Matt! Welcome to the wonderful world of porting Linux to the Amiga.
- You can find out more information by joining the mailing list, and suscribing
- to the 680x0 channel. (See other posts on how to join the mailing list)
-
- The reason that the amiga directory is protected under the amigaftp
- group is that we are trying to limit how far it travels. The only people
- so far that have access to the directory are those people actively doing
- work on the kernel. Right now, the 0.00 release is a bootloader and a
- serial test code. There's no task switcher, there's no keyboard driver,
- there's no console display, etc. That stuff is being written. The 680x0
- channel is there for people who want to influence the design of the amiga
- kernel as it starts up. Join in!
-
- We'll release the amiga directory when we put together a more interesting
- kernel, never fear.
