There was no response to this request on the debian-powerpc list, I guess it really belongs to debian-boot (cc'd). Since the consensus is that the current prep and chrp kernels which we supply as part of boot-floppies are badly broken and unusable, would something like this be considered for a stable point release? -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
