More questions...

Hello again,
	I've been playing some more with existing configurations to figure out 
how to fix the tiara code to work in the linuxbios code for my board. 
I've got all the config files in place and a mainboard config file 
setup based on the example of others. I have placed copies of the 
common files like mainboard.c from other projects, just for the time 
being, until I have more of an idea what to put in them. I have 
configured a few of the other example boards to see how it all fits 
together and have learned a bunch. What I am now wondering about is the 
functions that are placed in the mainboard.c file. Are those mainboard 
specific? Where are they coming from? Defined in other files? How do I 
know whether I need them? Can someone explain to me what the purpose of 
the functions in a mainboard.c file are for? I'll keep looking. I have 
a funny suspicion that they are to setup the io and chipset and ram or 
whatnot. I haven't figure it all out yet, I'll be looking at more of 
the assembly for the actual function and where it came from etc... Any 
pointers would be nice.

I think when I am done with this I'll help out with some docs for 
newbies coming from my perspective. I assume I send them to Ron?
