Hello!
By Shoppa disk do you mean, Shoppe disk, and any of the set of disks
that are in the distributions portion of the site with his name on
them? I've been trying to figure out how to attach them to the E11 one
to bring the whole thing up.

have you gotten to a point where you can rebuild
the world and install
your newly built stuff?
Well, I haven't tried to do that (it's not something that I'm that
interested
in), but it _should_ be possible, since the 'vanilla' V6 distribution does
include the source for pretty much everything (including the C compiler,
assembler, loader, etc).
(This does not include the stuff from the Shoppa disk, like the new C
compiler, where I don't have the source. [The PWB distribution, which
includes a C compiler from 1977, is probably pretty close. Looking into
the PWB stuff is one of my next projects; we have 17 different versions
of that stuff, and I'd like to see what the differences among them are,
and maybe create a 'canonical' PWB.]
Also, per the 'Improvements' page, I have source for the Standard I/O
Library, but I'm using the binary library from the Shoppa disk, which may or
may not correspond to that source.)
