The rsync source-tree now compiles,
but the machine does not survive the bootstrap
(I am using BootX).

This depends what your OF supports, and PC-like disklabel support can be
added to yaboot quite ea

Aha, any chance it also works on CHRP boxes. Hartmut, did you ever try?

The package currently distributed is 6.1, although 7.1
was made available long ago. Version 6.1 does not work
on my laptop (Apple Lombad), so I tried 7.1, compiling
it with the big endian option. After opening a loopback
connection, I got the following error from the program:

Hum... the status of this bootblock code is difficult to determine. It's
only a few bytes of 68k assembly that calls the ROM _InitFS

C++ exceptions, not machine exceptions:

Ok. I have the packages downloaded, but durring install it comes up with this
error:
error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/locales_2.1.3-2_powerpc.deb
Trying to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/localedef.1.gz which is also in
package libc6.
It then promptly dies and tells me to fix the problem.
Hello,
I've gotten about 40 copies of this message in the past two days.
According to my maillogs it is being sent from debian-68k-bounce. Is
anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?
TIA,
cbb

actually no, BootX is more like loadlin,
