Nice. I plan (in the looooong term) to support PICs, but only those with MIPS core, since I have already something. I hope this is your case. I forgot from last reply, if you decide to do a new installation from scratch, please wait next release, I put some little diagnostics in menu.sh in order to show sensible environment variables, so you can see at once if the script is working well.
