Re: kernel compilation and as86?

[Daryl Williams <daryl.williams@sharewave.com>]

hi henning,

thanks for your quick response. i did not install the bin86
package because the (short) pkg description daid it is a
16 bit compiler. on further examination i see that it is
the assembler used to create the 16-bit bootsector.
i should  have read it more carefully the 1st time.. :)
i am downloading the package right now.

thanks again for your help.
