If you want to be able to give input to Pintos running in Bochs through a terminal (as opposed to a VGA console window), you will need to compile squish-pty (with `make') and install it in PATH. Otherwise, squish-pty is unneeded. If your version of Perl predates 5.8.0 and you want the "pintos" script's timeout support (with -T) to properly limit the child's CPU time, then you will need to compile setitimer-helper (with `make') and install it in PATH. Otherwise, setitimer-helper is unneeded. - Ben
