Well - I think we should stop GNU as a topic _now_ until we have some very
good starting point for coding, a direction, principle thoughts done. What
we really have for now is some code initializing the PCI bridge or other
I/O (I didn't dig into) - that's it. That's not a skeleton, not the skin,
it's just the kidney. But at first, to give the project any purpose, we
should have at least (a) a skeleton and (b) a principle thought of how the
"thing" should look and interact afterwards. Without that, any piece of
code is useless (of course, until it fits into the structure finally
decided).
Winscheichwos,
