PowerPC (ppc) and AMD64 (x86_64) have been added as supported architectures to the Reference Build. GS.

GCC-4.1 support has been included in the Reference Build. With this change, the Reference Build now officially supports multiple GCC major versions. Details on the GCC4 Status Page. GS.

GCC4 based Reference Builds are now working. Please see the GCC4 Status Page for details. GS.

Development of the x86 Reference Build documentation is progressing. A daily snapshot can be viewed online here. Automatic "scriptlet" extraction is now working. More details on the Reference Build page. GS.

A CVS server has now been set up to allow development of Reference Build documentation. We've also set up a viewcvs web interface and a mailing list to receive commit messages. The website has been updated with a FAQ and more information about the Reference Build. GS.

The x86 Reference Build is now starting to take shape. You can read the initial announcement about it here. A very robust build has already been achieved but more testers are needed. GS.

You can now subscribe to the DIY-Linux development mailing list by visiting this page. Let's get down to business. GS.

A hosting arrangement has now been worked out and we're anticipating having a mailing list up and running within a few days. Quite a number of folks have been in contact expressing an interest in the project so we're looking forward to some lively development starting soon. Stay tuned. GS.

Welcome to the DIY-Linux project. We are currently in need of some assistance in hosting a mailing list. If you like what you see here and are able to donate some server space and bandwidth for the mailing list then please mail me. Thanks. GS.
