The main purpose of my project here is to write a kernel modesetting |
| 14 |
driver. Apparently lots of FSF fanatics use Yeelongs entirely from the |
| 15 |
terminal, so the potential for faster console scrolling speed is |
| 16 |
somewhat appealing to them. ;) |

I tried again last week to make n32 stages, but have had a terrible |
| 28 |
time with catalyst. |

|
| 30 |
The main problem I run into is that I can't get catalyst to |
| 31 |
acknowledge any package.keywords files (which as I understand might be |
| 32 |
by design), so I'm unable to put together a stage from the versions |
| 33 |
I'd like to stabilize. Are your recent o32 stages straight-up ~mips? |
| 34 |
Can you post your spec files somewhere? |
