-## <a name="About"> About </a>
-
-OSKit-Mach began as a branch of the GNUMach 1.2 kernel, but since the release of GNU Mach 1.3, OSKit-Mach has been merged as the new GNUMach 2.x mainline. The [[history]] page tells a more interesting story including other operating systems who use Mach in their kernels.
-
-GNU Mach 2.0 makes use of the drivers provided by [the OSKit](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/) from [the Flux Research Group](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/). The OSKit provided a neat driver base where both [[TWiki/FreeBSD]] and Linux (2.2.12) drivers are made available to [Mach](http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/www/mach.html) and thus the Hurd. However, OSKit isn't maintained anymore.

-## <a name="Status"> Status </a>
-
-The OSKit-Mach version of GNUmach is today (2005) more or less defunct. Nobody
-is working on it. Few people ever got it running, and by now there are also
-problems building with recent toolchains. Instead, the Hurd developers now
-concentrate on completely different microkernels (Coyotos being the current
-favourite), as well as on improving the original GNU Mach 1.x codebase. (See
-also [[microkernel/mach/gnumach/projects]].)
-
-The [[mailing_lists]], or the [[IRC]] is, like always, the best source of more
-current information.
-
-There also exist other efforts:
-
-* [OSKit and OSKit-Mach PPC Port](http://es.gnu.org/~jemarch/ppc-oskit/) - Maintained by [Jos� Marchesi](mailto:jemarch AT gnu DOT org)
-
-* [OSKit-Mach Alpha Port](http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnumach-alpha/). - This work has been integrated into the actual OSkit cvs tree at utah.
-
-## <a name="Building"> Building </a>
-
-First you need to get the latest OSKit release and, preferrably, the latest CVS version of GNUmach. Take a look at the following [tutorial](http://www.etherhogz.org/doc/oskit-mach.html) to get started. Or the locally kept version, [[BuildingOskitMach]].
-
-## <a name="Starting"> Starting </a>
-
-You start Oskit-Mach almost the same way as the old 1.x version of GNUmach. Using [[Hurd/GrubNotes]] an entry can look like this:
-
- title GNUmach 1.90 (CVS)
- root (hd0,1)
- kernel /boot/oskit-mach.gz root=device:hd0s2 --
- module /hurd/ext2fs.static \
- --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \
- --host-priv-port=${host-port} \
- --device-master-port=${device-port} \
- --exec-server-task=${exec-task} \
- -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume)
- module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
-
-_Remember_ to ensure that there are no trailing spaces after the backslashes on the lines above if you copy-paste this into your menu.list file.

-## <a name="Bugs"> Bugs </a>

-We have bugs, just like any other software product. To get around the more nasty ones you can apply the unofficial patches found on

-
-See Igor Khavkine's, [i\_khavki@alcor.concordiaNOSPAM.ca](mailto:i_khavki@alcor.concordiaNOSPAM.ca), excellent help to [remote debug oskit-mach over a serial line](http://www.etherhogz.org/doc/oskit-boot.txt), or the local [[RemoteDebugOskitMach]].
