[LV] Newbie - where to start?

[Neale Banks]

Greetings all,

As the custodian of a VAXstation 3100 (KA42-A V1.2) who's finally
organised some hardware for a build/netboot environment, what's the best
way to get started?

Looking over the website, the docs appear to be somewhat in need of a
facelift :-(

Presumably, a good start would be to set up a netboot environment and
test that?  Are there any sensibly recent kernel images available?

Once I've covered that ground, where would I go from there - setting up
a cross-compiler etc build system?

Also, how far is it reasonable to diverge from "linux" issues here?
e.g. poking around with machine-code a while back I noticed something
"odd" - are such issues welcome here?

Thanks,
Neale.

PS: My time is, to say the least and presumably like others here,
somewhat limited - but hopefully I can contribute something.
