Dang... you've been busy!!  =)  68... that's not too bad at all... you 
were at a few hundred a month ago, weren't you?

I've dual-booted my G4 to build packages for 8.2, but I can do that on 
my G3 imac.  I've noticed quite a few quirks, actually, with the G4 and 
8.2, so maybe I would be better served to give cooker a shot.  If 
you've got the kernel built, maybe I should try a network install of 
cooker.

Is there anyone else here with a G4 imac (I've got the "lamp")?  If so, 
maybe we can kick cooker/PPC into high gear.

Absolutely...  If there is no interest *from* the PPC community, there 
will be no interest *in* the PPC community...
