Building Building
-------- --------
So... to build the first sample simply type `cp samples/wgt01.c .` from the top-level directory, and then type `make`. When you boot with the generated _kernel8.img_ you will see the screen go into 320x200 (VGA!) mode and draw a white line from corner to corner.

boot/boot.S changes boot/boot.S changes
------------------- -------------------
We're still booting into a multicore environment (just in case we need it). There are a few significant changes to _boot/boot.S_ though. I will write more on these later, but (for now) they are: We're still booting into a multicore environment (just in case we need it). There are a few significant changes to _boot/boot.S_ though.
