Well in some way or another i got a copy with the book to Sweden.
Ran it from 1999 to 2002 or so (got a SGI challenge S as NetBSD machine
and a pc as a linux machine at that time in 2002 or so.)
Host was a 6100 with the Apple tilt display, i still have the hw, book
and MkLinux cd but the psu in the 6100 became bad....
I had been working on the IBM Microkernel (was
one of the original
6
people onthat team). It was eventually to form the basis of OS/2
for
PPC. The way thatthe microkernel project was structured was that
most
of the "OS" was personalityneutral (e.g. could be used for Unix,
OS/2,
DOS, etc) and then there was an OSpersonality that ran on top of
the
infrastructure. OS/2 on PPC was supposed tobe the first to ship.
I think I read that it was based on CMU Mach -- is that right?
It did seem for a while that a lot of things were based on Mach, but
very few seemed to make it to market. NeXTstep and OSF/1, the only
version of which to ship AFAIK was DEC OSF/1 AXP, later Digital UNIX,
later Tru64.
MkLinux didn't get very far, either, did it?
