That's a point I raised on IRC recently as well. I think it would be good to compile a listing of hardware we'll have available at DebConf. I'll ask talk to some Brazilian people to see if they can find more wierd architectures. Can we collect this information somewhere? I guess a Wiki would be a solution for this, but I've never used them, so I'm hereby volunteering to collect the information - if you bring any special hardware (i386 with firewire counts as special too) please send me a mail and I'll put in on the list. I'll post the list in a few days, or put it on the web and keep it up to date. > I want to have people lined up ahead of time for each architecture who > will be available to do some testing during both time periods.

I'll be at DebConf and thus away from most of my hardware, but I'll try to ask people who've previously tested d-i explictly whether I can ask them to test stuff during the testing period you outlined in your mail. Maybe other people can do the same for their arches. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
