* 1) Ok download the file http://www.ffclub.net/dwld/dreamcast.tar.bz2
-Open it up in archiver on KDE or your favorite archive program. Use bunzip
and tar if nessesary.

* 2) You should be root for all of this stuff:
-Put the files in /opt
-So now /opt/dreamcast now exists with /bin, /share, /sh-sega-dreamcast,
directories are also in /opt/dreamcast
-Set the permissions of the directory so everyone can execute and read these
files.
-Log out of root

(Make sure you download to /home/(ur username/ directory)download the
http://www.ffclub.net/dwld/kos-1.1.7.tar.gz and use in the console tar zxf
kos-1.1.7.tar.gz to untar/gz it
or
download the latest kos off of http://gamedev.allusion.net, 1.1.7 is this
file's target kos)

* 3) Extract the files in /home/(ur user)/ directory

* 4) Download my/c99's kos environ-dc.sh for 1.1.7 kos at
http://www.ffclub.net/dwld/stuff/environ-dc-1.1.7.sh to /home/(user
name)/kos-1.1.7/
-Open that in a text editor and edit the kos base(where is says
/home/clarkaskam) only. save.
-Open up your favorite place to read the console(shell)
-Type in "cd $HOME/kos-1.1.7"
-Then ". ./environ-dc.sh;make" (what the . ./ does is it is now loaded the
"environment" globally. and locally would be ./ and the ; just executes
muiltiple commands at one time.

* 5) That should it for you and the kos compiling part. REMEMBER THIS IS LINUX
ONLY and I used MANDRAKE 8.1 and 8.2 and 9.0RC2
-I will make the Dc-tool-ip and dc-load-ip next time. As i had about a 10min
stump on them.

-Until then read examples and workon joining DNA
