Yes, it is possible to run L4Linux without the ORe server, but you won't be
able to use networking, because the ORe driver is the only network driver
that is enabled in this binary.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

You may use the sources of the February OTC snapshot and compile L4Linux
without the ORe driver. But of course, in this case you cannot use
networking in multiple instances of L4Linux.

What speaks against compiling from source?
