Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

System Requirements
axle runs on 32-bit x86 processors.
It is recommended to use a machine with at least 64mb of RAM.
Running axle
Most times, you will be running axle in an emulator such as QEMU (the recommended emulator). While axle, like any OS, can be installed on real hardware, it is much less cumbersome and easier to use an emulator.
To execute the axle ISO with qemu, execute the following command:
qemu-system-i386 -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -d cpu_reset -D qemu.log -serial file:syslog.log -vga std -cdrom axle.iso
axle will log kernel debug info to a file called syslog.log which will be created in the directory you run axle in.
If you use one of axle's debug keystrokes (such as ctrl+m or ctrl+p), the info will be logged to this file.
Contributing
Contributing to axle is highly encouraged! If you have any questions about the under-the-hood workings of axle, or any ideas for new features, feel free to say so.
If you'd like to report a bug, please describe the steps needed to recreate the bug and include your kernel syslog.
