Hello -> confused newbie here !!
The linuxbios chat, I can follow but I am very intrigued by the vgabios since it will help linux on the nanofront and advance my own thinman model ***
I am writing a glossary right now and I need to know the difference between:
vgabios, framebuffer and X
My understanding is that X is compiled into the vgabios and that a framebuffer is a vga card (sun systems)
TIA, yeah.. I know

We will soon be a postnuke site and will be offering a lot of integration products based on completely new ways of booting linux. Devil-Linux is our standard OS install. The ThinMan is a trademark for a device network that seeks to collect pennies from 6 billion humans rather than thousands from a hundred million (microsoft)

I'm using this :
option CONFIG_VGABIOS=1 option CONFIG_REALMODE_IDT=1 option CONFIG_PCIBIOS=1
but now it doesn't compile anymore with this error:
linuxbios_c.o: In function `biosint': linuxbios_c.o(.text+0x1587): undefined reference to `pcibios'
The makefile doesn't seem to have any references to it after running NLBconfig, so I will try to add it manually. Any other tips ?
Thanks ,
Daniel
