Sorry, but as you will no doubt be aware, Debian is a volunteer project, and the m68k port in particular is a very small team (four or five maintainers, primarily occupied with finishing potato). 'NOW' isn't going to happen, and 'ASAP' might take a while. > See threads > http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-68k-9912/msg00056.html > and > http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-68k-9912/msg00087.html See other posts on that topic here; I've tried a last minute build of boot-floppies for slink r4 which failed because the only machine I could build on was a potato installation, and I re-uploaded the boot-floppies update originally done for r1 or r2. Please refer to the later messages in the thread you refered to. I also gave Phil a rundown on how to create an up-to-date disks-m68k tree by merging parts of the 0606 tree into 0301. In the meantime my boot-floppies upload from last month got installed and partially made it into disks-m68k/current. What's missing is the Amiga rescue and drivers disk and the lha and tar archive, plus the Atari install.lzh - judging from the file dates; I'll double check that with the md5 digests now. Result: the {amiga,atari}install.lzh and .tar files match neither the 0606 nor the newly uploaded files. What's up to date - Atari: linux, drv1440.bin, root.bin, lowmemrd.bin and resc1440.bin. Missing: install.lzh (aka atariinstall.lzh in 0606) and System.map.gz (aka sys_mapatari.gz). For Amiga: lowmemrd.bin. Missing: amigainstall.lha (aka amigainstall.lzh in 0606 - my messup) , drv1440.bin, linuxamiga, resc1440.bin (from the amigainstall.lzh _or_ amigainstall.tar.gz file on 0606, or from the December upload), rootamiga.bin (not really required as nothing changed in there) and system.map.gz. Somehow linuxamiga _was_ installed but into 0606 ... I have no idea who messed up where (beyond the delay in accepting my upload because of a new PGP key) but now you know all you need to create a working mirror of slink r4, and build your own CD images from that NOW. Phil will no doubt fix his mirror ASAP :-) Hope this clears up the matter a bit. Besides, I can only agree that yelling 'NOW' or 'ASAP' in a volunteer project is counterproductive. Michael
