I have no plan to support other PowerPC machines. The next target I'll work to support is x86 PC (as a grub 2nd stage image). Petitboot is just user space Linux programs. It has generic UI's (currently just an ncurses one with a twin one in progress but not usable), so it is not too difficult to create a bootloader image for a new target if that target is supported by OpenWRT. For more info on Petitboot and OpenWRT see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/geoff/petitboot-dev.git;a=tree;f=man;hb=HEAD http://openwrt.org/ http://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/ps3 -Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
