Hi!

1. Status Report
================
I've got a L4Ka::Pistachio running on an embedded PowerPC and my goal is
to get a Linux running on top by end of January. This is part of my
"Diplomarbeit" at the University of Leipzig.

2. Questions
============
a) Is the L4Env required for running L4Linux?
b) How much time would it take to port L4Env to L4Ka::Pistachio?
c) If L4Env was ported to L4Ka::Pistachio, could I run L4Linux without
changes?
d) What about the Fiasco port to PowerPC from Mathias Lange? He
mentioned some problems, so it didn't work. Is it running now? Where
could I get the source code?
e) If Fiasco would be running on PowerPC, would it be possible to run
L4Linux without changes?
f) I've read something about L4Linux running on L4Ka::Pistachio with
Kernel 2.4? Did I get that right? So I could at least get an old Linux
kernel running on my system.
g) Anything else?

Best regards and thanks for your time,

Martin.
