Thank you Thomas!

The kernel seem to work fine! I installed it and played around a little
and it seems to work.
The x-server works and seems stable so far.

I'm unsure whether it is any faster or  slower than Solaris 2.6 or 2.7
but I guess lack of
acceleration of the frame buffer makes it seem slower. But then my
Sparcbook only has 32M RAM.
(if anyone would like to sell 32,64 or 128 M I would be interested BTW
:-)

Thanks again,
Peter
