Re: New pre-alpha version (still debugging !)

Are there any instructions for getting started with this development
version?  I'm sorry for my naivety.  I have looked at
http://openmosix.snarc.org/wakka.php?wiki=OmKit

but after booting the images with qemu, I don't know what the login
is.  I tried this:

http://openmosix.snarc.org/wakka.php?wiki=WorkingTogether

but the openmosix-git.patch was empty.  Then I tried the kernel
Florian released on Nov 1 and had some compile errors that someone had
mentioned on the mailing list.  So after fixing those it compiled and
I was able to boot.

Are these instructions still correct?

*  To force a process to migrate between nodes on the 2.6 series, find
the process id, and "echo $DESTINATION_NODE_IP >>
/proc/${PID}/om/where"

if nothing happens (the process does not migrate), examine the
contents of /proc/${PID}/om/stay

Is this TODO list at all current?
http://openmosix.snarc.org/wakka.php?wiki=ToDo

Is this mailing list the best way to keep up with the latest patches?

Thanks,
Aaron
