		+	* Download new version of bios from [http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/bios/index.html here]. I got 5.41.10.36

		+	* Copied config.mak from c6run_0_95_02_02_beagleboard to C6Run_0_97_03_03. I fixed the C6RUN_INSTALL_DIR path. <code>C6RUN_INSTALL_DIR=/home/yoder/BeagleBoard/C6Run_0_97_03_03/toolchains</code>

 There are some 350M of files that need to be downloaded and installed to use '''c6run'''. The good news is you don't have to install anything else.  The bad news is, if this is being used with a class, 350M * number_of_students can strain a campus internet connection.  Therefore we have two options, loading from the internet (works for everyone), and loading from your campus (works if someone on your campus has already downloaded for you).
