I've finished booting a full Ubuntu desktop in qemu via a LinuxBIOS/filo image. I accomplished this under MS Windows, using the virtual machine to build its own ROM.
Any recommendations as to where this sort of build information would go? I started to write an article, but most of what was accomplished is already covered here: http://linuxbios.org/QEMU_Build_Tutorial
It was a great (and totally free/riskfree) way to get my feet wet, and it felt like "the real thing" since, like many ports, I was using the target "board" as my development platform. At any rate, thanks for all the great docs and discussions.

I'm a big believer in writeups, the more the better. Go ahead and write up your 'how I did it', we'll put you on the web page :-)
Nice work!

That's great! :)

If you're comfortable with writing a wiki page I know I would like that format. I'm sure there are details specific to your build environment (Windows) that would be nice to have in one place.
Thanks!

Can you enhance the Article that is already there? Feel free to improve it.
Making 5 different versions of the same thing might become confusing, so we should try to start with what is there...
