You correctly observe that our repository is a collection of bits and
pieces and being a research project, documentation is ... sparse.
Nevertheless we are happy about anyone complaining about this and
telling us what information you would like to have. We promise to
improve things over time.

Some more information can be found in our Wiki at
http://wiki.tudos.org, which also contains some example menu.lst and
configuration files to boot more complex scenarios.
http://wiki.tudos.org/HOWTOs might be a good starting point.

For a command prompt, we usually use a virtualized Linux instance (see
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/LinuxOnL4/).

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on this list.

For completeness' sake: If you simply want to use the system and
develop applications on top, you might also be interested in the
Genode OS framework: http://genode.org/

Indeed!

Cheers,
