Ryu-x86 Readme

Last Edit: 22.07.2006 (DD.MM.YYYY)

If you are looking for install instructions, please see the file "INSTALL".

Ryu-x86 aims to act an awful lot like linux, without actually copying any code from linux. It is planned to be a hand written, stripped-down version of unix that is extensively documented and can be easily extended to other's needs.
