WARNING: PreRelease means exactly that. Subra is not even close to complete, all that
currently exists is a module loader with vesa support (currently disabled) because loads of
debug messages are displayed for well, er, "debugging".
An ATA driver exists but buggy and filesystem support is under development for Ext2 and
FAT32. (Dec 2010/Jan 2011)
Once this is complete the next stage is to load modules off the disk, things like:
> config - Module Configuration file
> memmanager.sys - Memory manager
> dengine.sys - Data engine (as part of the kernel)
etc etc
Sourceforge is updated once weekly (Sunday 2.30 Irish time). For the latest sources and nightly
