i managed to do a powerpc-miboot flavour build, which does fit on a miboot floppy. I would like (urgently) for folk to test it out, it is just a kernel, i need to see if it boots, not much more for now, before i go ahead and upload 2.6.12-7 which would include it, and subsequently build debian-installer images with it. The floppy is at : http://people.debian.org/~luther/miboot.floppy Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
