emulate this from Intel.<br>

</span>This sounds like a setup for experts. Why not make a turn-key tarball<br>

</span>That's fine for the 3 or 4 core guys doing all the work! For everybody else<br>
this is a big inhibitor to making CM3 generally useful to the rest of the<br>
world- unless the instructions to get a complete install are very clear and<br>
easy to follow. But it seems from watching the discussion here it is<br>
non-trivial to get CM3 installed.<br>
