No need to apologize.  I am not working on the technology level (counseling actually), but I am following the list, and I have perceived a surge in posts.  I suppose the "solution" is to create specifically focused lists --- but I hardly see that as a problem; it is really good news.

My personal hope is to see L4 as drop-in replacement for Linux, and distributed in a format something like Ubuntu uses, with driver and porting kits supplied to peripheral and hardware manufacturers so that we can finally kiss off M$, and possibly the entire proprietary structure.

From there, I suppose, it would be a fairly quick segue to a native L4 platform.  My hope is for interest in data-centricity that is "appless" and works within the OS through open VMs and with dynamic desktop windows (http://thinman.com).

Genuine regards, John

ok, sorry about the number of messages, i'm going rapidly through things,
trying to get python and other stuff started.  i've had to create a
one-by-one "add the library, get the error, go on to next error"
modules.list file, and when i get to libm_support.so i get
"rom/libm_support.so is not an ELF file" so i did nm on it as you can see
below.  not sure what it means though.

anyway here's the list of modules so far, there _must_ be a better way to do
this - any clues?
