Hello!  This is my first post to this dev list.  I really like the progress of 
this project!  As per your question I have a related question to you; I have 
installed Windows Me (yes, the evil one!) and it installed ok, but the 
hardware detection wizard locks WinMe up.  Also attempting to install the 
Super VGA driver like you suggested (too see if I have any better luck) and 
it gives me a rundll32 error.  So my question to you is: Does the hardware 
detection wizard work for you?  Does any of the hardware auto-detect (i.e. 
network, sound, etc.)?  I am curious how much is similar/different between 
those two OS's, and I wanted to report a semi-successfull install of 
WinMe. ;)

P.S.  This is a great project!!  I am really excited about it's future!  Also, 
I am running the CVS from yesterday (via a CVS ebuild I found from 
somewhere.  :)
