[Syllable-kernel] Task scheduler - compiling the kernel

[James H. <jam...@ho...>]

Ok, this is just a simple forward of Vanders instructions for compiling the 
kernel.  I more or less just wanted to make sure that Bram and Daniel are 
subscribed here.  Lets all get our Syllable systems to a point where we can 
compile the kernel.  It does'nt take to much horsepower to do that actually, 
it's reasonably fast for me and I'm running under VMware.  Anyways, let me 
know when you guys are ready to rock and the fun will begin.  Let me know if 
you have any probs.

PS - note that you want "makefile.rules" and not "make.rules" as stated 
below =)
