I did not mean it is low priority. ;) I meant we are not paid Canonical employees to do a job following a timeline. Piotr seems to work on miBoot on week-ends and nights (an all-nighter actually, it seems...) when he feels like it and I am a bit the same... It is enjoyable work after all, though it seems I have currently more time than him. Therefore, be assured it will be done, but I cannot guaranty that it will be ready for Etch. And frankly, come one... miBoot is 10 years old inactive software, so I think there is no hurry. On a side note, I am also fscked up in NM without even starting, because someone in the Front Desk seems to dislike me, even though I maintain 11 packages in Debian, so there is really no hurry... > If you mean, you don't know the deadline to get it into etch, I can help: > > According to > http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/08/msg00005.html the final > build for d-i will be on October the 18th.

I asked Christian Perrier to add my account to the d-i Alioth project to work on miboot targets and miboot-installer. I am still waiting for an answer, but I know Christian has a family to run in the week-end... ;) I am also really afraid to interact with Frans, because I would rather not be treated as dipshit like Sven was. :( > And kudos for your efforts to free miboot and make it work on harddrives!
