I'll try to get to that soon.

No, don't drop them, just change the kernel version. With 2.6.18 the graphic cards might still work, even though I doubt it. But maybe it encourages some amiga users to fix those kernel drivers?

Why is Penguin in contrib? Isn't it free software? At least it would be good to have a usable config for Penguin on the CD, I guess the options have changed a little since sarge. > > For the atari, nothing is on the image, but I hope atari will be included in > > RC2, at least bootstr.app and a bootargs should be provided.

I still have my doubts about the video option, but the other options seem to be ok/working/needed. But I need to check with a 2.4.30 kernel, still setting up my new desktop, no crossbuilt kernels yet. > Do you have all of Michael's patches in the debian kernels? I think so, at least a previous version of that kernel worked fine on my Falcon, ie with EtherNEC. Until I managed to destroy my partition table... in TOS.
