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. > As Vincent says, if you folks want to see future Mandrake PPC releases, > you need to make your interest known.
