Hm would you mind sharing? Honestly I would not mind starting up project
athlon again and already have have space to support it and for others to
download. Who knows maybe even we can someday get to the point were at least
the kernel is for the arch it's running on.
Another comment for the others not you Stefan. If it is so hard to do all this
how come ark linux run by maybe one or two guys can (bero for sure who
started mandrake on the i586 builds) have builds for i586, i686, athlon,
pentium3, and pentium4. Admittedly they are all x86 but they still have
builds for all those and they are very few.
