About par for the task. The dependency list perhaps needs to be changed for sid. OTOH, with the new installer just beyond the horizon it's perhaps not worth fixing... Re: powerpc boot-floppies: the powermac HFS floppy image is hosed (hfsutils permission trouble of the silly sort). I can't build a new set since the cryptic chroot /dev/zero permission problems are back now. If someone else could just take my release files and dump them into the CVS source tree and rerun ./release.sh powerpc woody 3.0.24 we'd be all set. Michael
