another question is : right now linux/apus use a bootstrap procedure to launch linux from the amigaOS side, something similar of what BootX is doing i guess, so it makes not much sense to have a debian kernel package. but it should be possible to mount /boot as an amiga partition, and put things there, including perhaps some other files needed to launch linux, like the bootstrapper, and some configuration file. Is this possible, what should go into /boot. perhaps a /boot/amiga subdirectory or something such would be nicer even. i guess we will need an linux->amigaos crosscompiler environmentfor this to agree with putting the bootstrap program into a .deb package. What do you think of this, it is a nice idea, or an horrible hack ? Friendly, Sven LUTHER
