Hi Achim, devers,

I'm willing to sort through any docs you care to write and correct for 
English grammar and whatnot, I stand to learn something about the project that
way.

On another note ...

Bled the ISO last night, hoping to boot the kernel on VIA board with Cyrix MII 
(via chipset: VT82C598MVP), grub popped up nicely (yea!), selected top option,
got some proper looking boot messages then all kind of scrolling hex numbers
and total lock.  

I understand that there's some issues with some via sets ... have a 486 with
32 Mb I'll try next, I'd give it a shot now, but it won't boot off the cdrom 
and I find myself without a working 3.5 floppy drive for bootdisk making.
Any insights?

Gontran
