menu.lst for running flips in L4

[wira]

Hi,

Is the task required for porting this Ping program is the same thing as
porting the ifconfig in mini_ifconfig (included in Flips package)? Is there
any documented tutorial (on porting apps to fiasco) or guide that I can
starts with? For now, the Hello world program is the nearest practical clue
that I have.


Thanks,
karipap.
