Alexander Graf posted some patches in March that let MOL run on top of the KVM (see here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=1267872281-25512-1-git-send-email-agraf%40suse.de ) At least that makes it possible to use MOL on PPC64 machines. Also Alexander Graf was added to the list of project developers a week ago. On the other side I still use a self-compiled MOL version on my AmigaOne PPC machines (self-compiled because the AmigaOne needs a special MOL version, selected by a compile option - however I guess that could be made run-time selectable). So I would really like to see further support for MOL in Debian, but I'm afraid I lack the knowledge (in software packaging) and time to do this. Well, I hope MOL will return to Debian as soon as it fully supports KVM on PPC64 and PPC32 machines. best regards, Gerhard -- GMX DSL SOMMER-SPECIAL: Surf & Phone Flat 16.000 für nur 19,99 ¿/mtl.!* http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
