6 | Currently, the vanilla 2.6.0 has broken keyboard/mouse and serial

10 No worries - just give us what you can support. If 2.6 is impossible,
11 2.4.23 will be fine.

21 | gcloop does build on sparc however, though the prerequisite packages
22 | currently either lack sparc and/or ~sparc keywords. I also have not
23 | tested it's functionality.

26 Don't worry too much about gcloop for 2004.0. Daniel, correct me if I am
27 wrong, but my understanding is that for 2004.0, we will be using regular
28 loop, not gcloop for compatibility sakes.
