Is there any special need for this source format? People might be able 
to install anything for pdf creation - but I'm still in the process to 
install Qt 4, which is required by lyx, which is required to format the 
.lyx file. Ok, it's possible to read the source format itself. But it 
would be easier to have some ready and much more common format here. I 
don't know whether I would be able to run lyx at all on the system 
itself (GX2, 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM) - and it takes 100 MB source files for 
installation...

This would be much more appropriate.

Thanks, I'll do so

The AMD Personal Internet Communicator (PIC, now sold as DecTOP).

The sticker says: PIC-1MM, Technology By Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Converting from LX to GX should be easier than to do everything from 
scratch.

That's a good starting point, as soon as someone knows how to put this 
info into coreboot.

Thanks,
