So,  does this mean the makefiles are setup specifically for Linux?  No 
other platform makes are available?

Do I need any other information to build a configure script for BSD?  Is 
there any information about dependencies, and libraries that might
be committed from the current build / configure scripts?

One other question.  What is the true amount of memory available in the 
hardware for the graphics?  Is it 256K ?

Thanks.

Larry
