If you write a document, put it in /n/mightydog/software/cougar.
If you just have random info to share, put it in the wiki with a link
from the cougar page. You can also create links from the wiki to
documents.

I agree with Andy that a document is needed describing the changes as
well
as providing a cookbook for cougar developers on how to build the
system.
This cookbook also needs to describe how to net boot the system and
run an NFS root filesystem.

Hi Larry,

You've checked in a number of changes and additions to the cougar
branch without review.  Consequently, nobody knows how the stuff you
checked in works, where it lives, what the operating theory is ... etc.

Could you write a _brief_ design document that captures all this
information?  Where things are checked in, how the makefiles work, and
so on?  Feel free to use whatever format makes you happy: wiki,
open-document-format, or plain text file.  ~:^)

That would be a big help.  I'm looking for somewhere to check in my
kernel bits, but I really don't know where to start.  This will help me
there but also in other things.

Thanks,

a
