+# <a name="Introduction"> Introduction </a>
+
+This page is a simple project page for me. I use it to keep track of things concerning the Hurd. This until we get a Wiki or something up and running.
+
+# <a name="Current_Project"> Current Project </a>
+
+I am currently working on updating the OSKit's Linux drivers from Linux 2.2.12 to 2.2.21 plus the ATA-100 patches for Linux 2.2.19. This because my Promise ATA-100 card at home prevents me from running the Hurd on my SMP machine.
+
+## <a name="Project_plan"> Project plan </a>
+
+1. Start off with OSKit, St. Patrick's Day release.
+2. Upgrade the Linux IDE drivers to Linux 2.2.19, and 2.2.21
+3. Test against HEAD branch of gnumach (oskit-mach)
+4. Import the ATA-100 patch.
+5. Test again.
+6. Release fat patch.
+
+I will do this in parts, see status table below.

+
+1. Enable [[FreeBSD]] drivers from OSKit in Mach.
+2. Use the sound drivers in Mach - port a useful sound daemon.
+3. I want to get SMP working with OSKit-mach. I have the SMP test kernel from the OSKit, comprehensive knowledge of how Linux 2.4 deals with SMP. Now I only need to read the Intel specs on multiprocessing and start working ... eh?
