CVS has been tagged with the identifier 'v0_1'. This version can boot/run the precompiled kernels and initrd files as well as the RH7.3 NFS filesystem (using an initrd which can handle NFS roots) offered in the downloads area. Instructions are in the
'Documentation' directory in CVS.

for notes on running the demonstration kernel images and initrd
provided on the main plex86 web site.
