Not so fast please, Adrian. At the risk of sounding harsh, non-release old ports like powerpc *really* don't get to dictate things in Debian terms. As Daniel Axtens has been finding out, the HFS code is terrible in terms of security. If you still need it for old/semi-dead machines, maybe you should fork an older grub release and stay with that? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
