make is part of the standard release. In versions 0.10 and 0.11 it
was in the file utilbin.tar.Z. In version 0.12 utilbin.tar.Z has
been replaced by fileutil.tar.Z and utils.tar.Z. You'll find make
in utils.tar.Z. In addition you may want to grap the text utilities
in test-1.1.bin.tar.Z. Other utilities have been ported separately.
I believe all these are on the normal linux distribution systems
mentioned in the INFO sheet that was just posted.

With the various kernel changes going on, I'd be tempted to keep
separate boot and root disks. But that's just a personal opinion.

Posting of untested or alpha versions are likely to cause problems.
