Re: New user wanting to help

Hello there.

Just wanted to add a few words.

Please note that this project is useful also as an OS running on top of 8086 
emulator for mobile phones. It would be nice to have a Linux-like machine 
inside your Nokia, which will probably never be capable of running full i386 
emulation.
