# <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. If you wish to comment on my lack of progress/life the do so in [[TWiki/GoodStyle]], preferable at the bottom of this topic.

_Todays Got'cha_

Don't forget using --\_enable\_-indirect-osenv, even though the --help listing changed from 2001 to 2002 version of the OSKit!

# <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.

# <a name="Future_Work"> Future Work </a>

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?
