Amen. I've asked for more help on doing actual boot-floppy builds and testing for a while. I'm leaving my current employer that paid me to spend _some_ time getting Debian ported to PReP and so I did the last build of boot-floppies (that is 2.2.x based BTW) that sits in potato now. My new employer isn't going to pay me to spend any time so I hope somebody else becomes motivated enough to work on it. I sure won't have as much time as did before. Oh, and the current ppc boot-floppies works damn well good for my PReP boxes (maybe not IBM's due to kernel problems). I also made them work for pmac for my Tanzania Starmax box and made the changes available. I guess the problem with pmac is all the demand is going from users who are not motivated enough to spend some development time to make their boxes work. -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country.
