+<B>Kernel</B><BR>
+Things are going pretty well right now. We're now working off the
+official 2.4.0 kernel. Next I'll merge in 2.4.1. We intend to
+track the 2.4.x series at least until 2.5 starts. Don't know
+which way we'll go at that point yet...
+<P>
+Andy's pagelet layer is in place, making the
+main kernel think we really have 4K pages, when we really only have
+512-byte pages. (Sssh! Don't tell it...). Good work Andy!
+<P>
+Richard Banks has started trying it out on a MicroVAX 3100 Model 85
+(KA55 CPU) and, well, it's just not working... My best guess is
+that the PCB needs to be set up correctly before turning on virtual
+memory. I'll get to that real soon now, Richard. Honestly...
+<P>
+Anyway, I've tagged a build as kh-20010220 in CVS. You can see
+the default configuration (i.e. rm .config && make oldconfig) booting

+VAXstation 4000 Model 60</A>. Thanks for the 4000/60, Andy!
+(Incidentally, those BOOTP transmission attempts in the VS3100
+bootlog are not actually putting packets on the wire.)
+<P>
+<B>Toolchain</B><BR>
+You will need the 20001231 toolchain to build this kernel.
+You can get it from CVS or grab snapshots from

+the FTP site</A>.
