Do you have a website were you publish your concept? |

I'm very lucky that you have no unresolvable problems (yet), so I'm |
| 24 |
looking forward. In the next few month I will start to work on this. |

Currently I'm thinking (thinking only, nothing is done) of using qemu for |
| 26 |
the "identification boot/run". It would be amazingly if a mechanism can be |
| 27 |
found, to dynamicaly bring in a file into an intial emtpy system. |
