That's great.. I'll try to have a look at it in the coming weeks (I'm 
very intested to see if the VBE code from Bochs works ok in Plex86).

Well, I don't know what kind of problem you have, but I'm assuming 
you're missing one of the bios buildtools? (bcc-cc1, as86, tools86, etc?)

If I'm correct then most of the tools needed are part of the dev86 
package 
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=dev86&submit=Search+...&system=&arch=

tools86 is part of the dosemu package (although it's not always 
installed, because it is 'helper' tool for dosemu developers I think).

If you still have problems building the bios, it might be because of gcc 
3.x preprocessor problems.. I think that is a (small) thing we still 
didn't get around to fixing yet.
