The only requirements I can think of are:
- framebuffer support in your kernel (should be no problem for m68k)
- packages like libnewt-utf8-0 need to have been built for your
architecture
Other than that, it should just be a case of adding "m68k" to the list
of architectures in this part of the config file:
# whether to use the language chooser in dbootstrap for kernel flavours
that
# support it, `true' or `false'
ifneq (,$(filter $(architecture),i386 arm powerpc alpha))
export USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER := true
export LC := true
else
export USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER := false
export LC := false
endif
You used to have to edit rootdisk.sh as well but it looks like that is
no longer the case.
Try it and see how you get on; I expect it will just work. You may also
want to tailor the list of included languages a bit further down in
config, depending on how much space you have available in your root
image. By default you will get the same "top ten" that i386 uses.
