[big one]

> Booting to console mode / svgalib possible

Can someone put a wiki / HOWTO about booting OLPC to console mode, setting up svgalib, SDL, xinit command and xinitrc?

> Lack of FreeDOS because of BIOS

With console mode, IMO it is possible to run DOS Emulator such as DosEMU + FreeDOS or DOSbox with decent speed on OLPC.
